Creative, delicious food in a trendy place with good service all at a reasonable cost.
You immediately notice the trendy decor when you step in the door. It is very relaxing and visually pleasing.
We were greeted right away by someone who turned out not to be our waiter to ask for a drink order. We found the service to be quite attentive without being intrusive.
The Prix Fixe menu was impressive and very affordable but I had already set my sites on the lamb on the regular menu. Speaking of the menu, it was fun to read. My wife chose the Duck Duck Goose (duck two ways with gooseberry glaze. I had the Lamb^2 (Lamb squared which is lamb two ways).
I started with the onion soup. It does use a sweet onion which gives it a unique flavor that I liked compared to the standard french onion soup.
The entrees were delicious. My lamb came two ways -- rack of lamb (2 pieces) and a lamb T-bone. Both were very tasty and filling. My wife enjoyed her duck. I had a taste and it was very moist and yummy.
One thing that is a bit strange about the place is that they offer side dishes to share right below the entrees just like the fine steakhouses do because they don't serve a side dish. The strange part is that my dish came with two side dishes which were large enough to be filling and not require anything else ordered from the menu. My wife's meal came with an artichoke heart side dish which turned out to be a single small piece which was not enough.
We had an excellent Mazzi amarone wine with our meal. The wine list has good variety with many affordable choices.
Dessert was delicious. We shared the Chocolate Decadence (dark chocolate mousse and chocolate sponge cake). I often joke about having a 'liquid dessert' so I had to have one because they actually call them "Liquid Desserts" on the menu! I had The Italian Job which is layered Amaretto, Frangelico and cream.
In short, it was an excellent, creative meal that didn't break the bank. If we lived in the area, we would go back frequently to work our way around the menu.
