| - My husband and I had "date night" here on Saturday. I really enjoyed it, he thought it was average. There is little ro no "curb appeal" when you get there, it looks pretty bad from the outside actually, but inside I thought it was very quaint and cozy. I could see how it could get stuffy as others have mentioned, but we ate somewhat early and didn't feel that way even though it was 90 plus outside. It can get loud inside too. You'd like to think that people will be conscious of their surroundings and use their "inside voices" but.... If you are considering this place for more than 4 people, do all the date night couples a favor and go elsewhere. It really isn't equipped to handle a larger group unless you eat outside.
We knew in advance to bring our own wine, but I agree it would be nice to be able to order a cocktail. It isn't like there is someplace next door you can grab one before you come in and sometimes you just want to start a nice meal with a little aperitif. If they don't want to go for a whole liquor license, they could easily get a beer and wine and that would allow them to serve things like Lillet which would be a lovely way to start.
We had the brie because it was one of their specialities. I actually am not crazy about brie but wanted to sample it. The fruit was all really good and fresh, but the portion of bruleed apples on top of the brie was very small. A good concept for a dish, but execution could make it really shine. The apples could be truly carmelized, more liquid apple juice and caramel, maybe with some spices, would be so excellent with fresh pear and baguette.
I had the Taleggio salad and my husband had the tomato and mozzarella. The Taleggio salad was great, very generous portion and well dressed. The Tom/Mozza was very average - nothing at all special.
My husband had the pecan crusted chicken and I had the lobster papardelle. Both entrees were great, the proteins were cooked perfectly and seasoning was great. I never found myself wanting to reach for the salt, which I often do. We were too full to finish but leftovers were welcomed the next day.
I wish I had foregone the Brie for dessert, we were too full to order a tarte and I think we really missed out. That Samoa one sounded like heaven! My husband thought it was overpriced for above average, but not great, food - if I can talk him into going back I will make sure and order that Samoa tart!
