The menu seems more fitting for a downtown restaurant than their location in a suburban strip mall would suggest. However, as other reviewers noted, we quickly forgot the location as we settled into the nicely decorated room.
We started with two different soups - both outstanding. My wife had a jalapeƱo and bacon soup with a puffed pastry that had lots of flavor and a smooth,creamy texture. For my opener, I sampled a perfectly spiced Thai seafood chowder with lots of body and beautifully tender shrimp.
My wife's main of lobster mac and cheese had great flavors but was a little overcooked leading to slightly greasy texture. My Creole steak was a winner, changing up an ordinary filet mignon by topping it with chorizo sausage, caramelized onions, more perfectly cooked shrimp and roast peppers in a tomato base for a beautifully balanced sauce.
A rich carrot cake topped off a delicious and very reasonably priced dinner.
Suggestion to the owners - lose the tv's and the paper napkins to be taken seriously as the kind of establishment your food suggests you that you are:)
The chef ensured our return with his gracious offer of free dessert when informed we thought the Mac cheese had been slightly overcooked. This could be our new favorite neighborhood resto!
