| - Mixed reviews. So just follow along.
When you walk in the greeters are off to the side, so it was confusing to know where to go. We were seated immediately on a Thursday night at 7. That was really nice. The tables, even for two, seem spacious.
The wine list is given to you on an iPad to share. While waiting for my dinner companion to read, another patron noted that wine was also on the back of the menu. That would have been nice to know rather than wait on a piece of tech that will tell me what kind of grapes went into my wine. I tried a Voignier. I had never heard of it and was intrigued by a wine from Chile. I said why not? It was good, but I should have gone with a red to match the meal. This was a sweeter wine similar to a reisling.
We skipped starters and decided to share four items: duck confit egg rolls, sauteed green beans, short rib and goat cheese.
The egg rolls were amazing. Hot, crunchy, flavorful. However, at their price point, I would have appreciate more than two egg rolls.
The sauteed green beans were a last minute add for a vegetable. And wow! WOW! The sauce on the fresh beans are hands down the scene stealer. The description said Thai Vinaigrette, but the sauce was thicker than I expected. I wish I could begin to describe the amazingness that went into that dish.
The goat cheese was good. Standard. However, I appreciated that plentiful amount of bread that was provided.
Now, the short rib. The meat itself was delicious and cooked amazingly. However, it was doused in corn fondue. Something like that I expected on the side. It was sweet corn and cheddar and the flavor overtook the meat at times. It was too much for the perfectly cooked short rib.
Let me preface this as saying, most of the descriptions are simple so you really are not sure what you are getting. I ordered the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee for dessert. It said brownie and raspberry preserves. I was NOT expecting that to be in the creme brulee. It was awful. There was no saving grace or that dessert. Too much happening and the components did not work together. I was sad for it.
