| - Went here for the first time on a first date. Great ambiance. Low lighting, the customers were not loud, almost to a murmur allowing us to actually hear each others conversations. Parking is validated for 2 hours. There are 2 lots just south of the restaurant at the Biltmore.
She ordered the Wood-Roasted Pork Tenderloin off of the gluten free menu. She liked it a lot. I ordered the seasonal rock fish snapper with curry sauce. I asked for the curry to be on the side thinking it was spicy. The fish was tender, not a lot of seasoning, which is the way fish is supposed to be enjoyed. The sauce was not at all spicy so I used it for some added flavor. String beans, yellow squash, carrots, onions, and basmati (brown rice). It was delicious.
The service was great. Linda was her name, older lady who always stopped by to ask how we were doing. She didn't treat me like a total newbie because I've never been there. Even though we skipped appetizers, any of the wines, she didn't treat us any different. She brought a tray of desserts, I got the seasonal Pumpkin Pie with Ginger Snap Crust. Small portion, but very tasteful not too sweet. She ordered the Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cannoli. She discarded the gluten Cannoli part.
Overall, it was a great atmosphere. It was a casual dining experience without the pressure to order things. Of course more importantly, the not too skimpy but not too overbearing dishes were delicious.
Dinner - 2 entrees, 2 desserts plus taxes: ticket $48. Not too bad.
