| - Came here for dinner with a company Christmas party and it was average. There were a number of appetizers to share with the table which were very good. We had parmesan truffle fries, calamari, bread.
For appetizers with our meal we could choose between butternut squash soup or salad. I got the soup. It was very good. Really tasty. The portion was huge though. It must have been about 2 1/2 cups. Really generous for an appetizer. Those that ordered the salad, a meal sized salad I swear, could not even come close to finishing it. The salad was really beautifully plated and really good.
There was a choice of salmon, chicken, and steak for the entree. I had the salmon, which was undercooked, but I ate it around the middle. Better than overcooked and I was so full from the soup I knew I wouldn't be able to finish my entree. The salmon came with a positively enormous amount of wilted flavorless spinach and at least 10, maybe 15 stalks of flavorless, but perfectly cooked, asparagus. I could not finish all the greens. It was way too much. Others had the chicken and the steak and out of more than 20 people barely anyone could finish their meal. The steak also came with a massive amount of asparagus and green beans, which are so similar it was kind of an odd pairing. More vegetable variety would have been nice.
The dessert choices were a butter tart (no raisins and very sweet and rich), a creme brulé with a piece of chocolate bark with rice crispies on it (the rice crispies did not add to the chocolate at all but the brulé was very good, a chocolate cake (the person that ordered this said it was quite good), and an eggnog cheesecake.
All in all service was good, the room if nice, my meal was ok. I don't understand why the portions are so huge. If I came back if go with someone and make sure we ordered one thing and split it. This place would be great if you had an enormous appetite.
