| - ECE never ceases to amaze with the quality, generosity, or friendliness. It is a new weekly ritual that I am willing to forgo bakeries to save up my calories for. Kristina D. and I have grabbed a menu and began to go down the list because nothing has been mediocre.
On this visit we tried the shrimp diabolo with linguine, the smokehouse burger basket with their fries tossed in mild sauce. The abundance of jumbo shrimp were shocking. I have been to many a restaurants, ordered this dish, only to be let down with three or four pieces. The EIGHT, count them, eight butterflied shrimps are lightly breaded and I believe pan fried. The sauce is not as diabolical as the name implies, it coats the tongue and delivers a mild aftertaste, but not scorching. The capers and garlic are plentiful and adds to the wholeness of the dish. It is accompanied by two big pieces of garlic bread. Try to resist mopping up the leftover reminisce, if you can. The smokehouse burger is juicy, salty, sweet, tender, and not slathered in sauce. When a burger can stand on it's own and a restaurant does not try to hide imperfections by drenching an item, I am impressed. Now for my friend's favorite, the fries tossed in mild sauce. This side was spicier than our pasta, and taste better than just plain fries. The only downside is that they go limp and cold faster. Eat them early on in your meal otherwise you will be disappointed.
