We each had soup. My wife had the lobster bisque, which was broth based and delish. If you want a heavy cream lobster bisque, this isn't it. I had the soup de jour, which was a curry based soup. Superb.
I had the heirloom tomato salad, which had fresh buffalo mozzarella, making for a tasty version of caprese.
We also had the duck appetizer garnished with cherries. Perfectly cooked and healthy portion for an app. Would have been our best dish had the entrees not come next.
My wife had the lamb and I had halibut. Both we perfectly cooked and offered wonderful flavors. Both entrees were well proportioned.
For desert we shared salted caramel creme brûlée and homemade sorbets, along with a French press of Nicaraguan coffee.
Service was impeccable through the meal. Eastman was our waiter and was great. Entire staff was attentive & friendly, always asking how the meal was going and if we needed anything. Classic 5-star experience.
Ambience is a huge plus. We actually ate outside on the patio since it was a perfect evening weather wise. The indoor decor and ambience was impressive. There are 4 dining rooms, each decorated with a different french style. Overall, Cru Uncorked cuts no corners on decor, quality, or service.
They have 6,000 bottles of wine, and while they have pages of $$$$ bottles, they have plenty in the $50-100 range, if you're looking for better value.
It's not for everyone and not a restaurant we can afford every weekend, but we look forward to coming back for a special occasion or date night.
