Stylish hotel restaurant located in the Firesky Resort. We dined here for Valentine's Day 2015. We were staying at the hotel but I booked the restaurant before I knew it was a hotel restaurant based on the strong ratings I saw on yelp.
Unfortunately our experience did not measure up to the great reviews but I think this is largely due to the "special" Valentine's Day tasting menu that was offered instead of the standard full menu. Perhaps the chef had a hot date because the tasting menu was rather disappointing and made me wonder who was watching over the kitchen.
The written description was tantalizing but the actual food pretty pedestrian. The first course offered an antipasto assortment of three treats in clouding crostini, prosciutto and shrimp with spicy sauce. The reality was a thin piece or generic French bread slathered with guacamole, a fat cold asparagus spear wrapped thickly with grocery store prosciutto and a 1 plain small cold shrimp with a sauce that clearly used ketchup as its base.
The next course offered a choice and we chose the mozzarella salad with fresh tomatoes. This wasn't half bad but had much too much mozzarella and was too large for us to finish. For our main course we ordered the grilled steak instead of the seafood risotto which was over cooked ( medium well instead of medium) and rather low quality. It did come with a nice sauce on the side which livened it up a bit.
The final course, dessert, was there take on campfire s'mores - a small bowl of melted chocolate a couple of strawberries 2 toasted marshmallow and 4 soggy graham crackers (clearly done ahead and sitting in the refrigerator).
