| - Second visit for this fan of Dresslers and Dogwood. First visit was during their "birth of a restaurant" stage where the food was good, but during this visit on Thursday 3/17, I'd say they're hitting their stride. Favorite apps were the Shrimp which had a welcomed hint of heat but the killer was the "bacon" which was more like a smoked pork belly brisket thickly sliced that was moist, tinder and full of flavor. The girls ordered the Fillet and Tuna which were excellent as expected from their Dressler's experience but the surprise was the Veal Chop that i ordered, which i haven't had in several years - it was fantastic, excellent. I even went to the food line and found Eddie who cooked it and complimented him on a great chop. It was also presented well with a nice mushroom sauce and gnocchi. We over ordered, including collards and golden beets, which were so good, we took them home with us. To finish, as if we needed it, we split a piece of pie, yum. BTW, the service was just as good as the food. Jim did a great job of always being there while not being in the way of the dinner. Jeff and guys at the bar mixed some tasty martini's and Old Fashions.
