| - Service was wonderful, as was the atmosphere, but I found the food lacking...
We showed up and were seated immediately. Our group was waiting for another individual, so we looked through the drink menu (Coors Light on tap as a featured beer, seriously? WTF) and ordered our drinks while we waited. I ordered a Mojito and was expecting greatness, but was SO disappointed. The drink was super bland, no sweetness or mint flavor. Sad way to start out the evening.
Our fourth guest arrived and we ordered our appetizers (Calamari and Escargot) and ordered a bottle of wine for our meal. The Wine list was disappointing, but the wine we chose ended up being suitable. The Calamari was alright, not as crispy as I would have liked, but a nice flavor. The Escargot was also decent, but the flavor was a bit off.
I had ordered Prime Rib with a Twice Baked Potato and shared the Truffled Mac & Cheese with a friend. The Prime Rib was very tasty, but also super fatty and didn't have a nice char on the outter edge - which happens to be my favorite part of the prime rib. The Twice Baked Potato was alright, but nothing special. The Truffled Mac & Cheese was made with truffle oil and was actually very delicious... I wish I could have eaten more of that!
For dessert, we shared a Brownie Sundae and the brownie was glorious! I wish the ice cream could have matched it, but no worries... delicious brownie ftw.
The atmosphere was great, as was the service.
All and all, the experience wasn't horrible and I would likely be back and order a steak and some mac & cheese with no drinks from the bar.
