| - The food was good, but we got there at 5pm. At first the lighting was perfect. I could see the face of my date, or potentially the food that was placed in front of me (we hadn't ordered yet). Then, BINGO, the lights were turned off and I was in a DARK, dark cave. Too much mood lighting for my taste. It made me want to lay down and go to bed. More importantly, it left me wondering what my food even looked like. Presentation of the food and overall ascetics adds to experience. Don't take this away with dark lighting.
Now to the food,
Gorgonzola Salad, Bibb Lettuce, Pickled Onions, Crispy Prosciutto - good overall. Tad too much cheese. All I tasted was gorgonzola. There was also something sweet on the plate that tasted like dates... BUT I couldn't see for the life of me what it was thanks to the lighting.
Bacon Wrapped Dates, Blue Cheese Fondue - okay, the dates were too sweet, but the blue cheese fondue attempted to offset that
Chorizo, Italian, Andouille Sausage Flatbread - it was okay. I wish I went with the chicken pesto
Onion Soup, Puff Pastry, Gruyère Cheese - it was okay.
Angus Mini Burgers, Mushroom, Chipotle Mayo - good dish
