| - Nice ambiance.....walk through the bar area to the the dining room, open kitchen, fairly loud.....expediter had a booming voice.
Started with a shared Waldorf Salad.....tangy dressing was like a vinaigrette mixed with yogurt. Pretty good. Crisped bits of bacon were tasty, but there were CHUNKS of bacon fat in the mix, which I used to gross out my wife. That was not good. Otherwise, just order the salad and ask them to keep out the bacon fat chunks.
She had pan roasted salmon, not her favorite way to have it cooked, but she tried to keep an open mind. At the end, she felt it was just "ok".
I had the short rib. It was overall the most disappointing short rib ever. Beautiful and deliciously creamy polenta with corn salsa was amazingly tasty, but the rib was like a big piece of stew beef.
It broke apart in strings, like pre-pulled pork. A great short rib should be tender, flavorful, juicy and supple....this was chewy-chewy. Supposedly it was rubbed with mole, but I couldn't taste it. Not bad enough to send back, but not good enough to order again.
We shared the butterscotch pudding, and that was one of the best restaurant desserts we have had. Try it!
With drinks and tip, the bill was $129.11
