I don't usually rave about food as I'm eating dinner. Heck, I don't usually stop to actually taste the food. I usually just scarf it down and go. Tonight was an exception.
Starting with the steamed clams for an appetizer and on to the salad greens with pecans topped by balsamic dressing, the start of this dinner went very well.
Then Chef Sanchez' main courses came out. My companion had the Maine lobster and I had the halibut. The lobster was done to tender perfection and the halibut was flavorful, moist, and flaky. I found myself taking time to savor the taste of the halibut along with the grilled portabello mushroom cap, deep fried tomato, and asparagus.
Even the presentations were amazing and the service from our waiter, David, was exemplary.
The ambience, the service, the food... all top of the line. I don't expect any of that from a restaurant chain which made the experience that much better.
