So good.
The restaurant is admittedly in the most tucked away place. You'd hardly know it was there in the strip mall. Stepping inside however is an instant transformation to a charming little place.
Now when I say charming, I don't mean too fancy. It's nice and sets a good mood. The wall decor is not exactly "out of place," but certainly a bit odd.
But they could paint Grimace and Burger King sword fighting on the wall for all I care if the food is good.
And the food is good.
There are moments when food has taken me to another place, where I felt as though I could leave the bounds of Earth behind me. This is not one of those times. There's nothing transcendent about the food, but it's the kind of food that tastes so good that it reminds you to eat out more often. The kind that you think about days afterwards.
The roll and pesto are a fantastic start to the meal, but dangerously addictive. It's hard to slow down to make room for you meal.
Most recently, I had the lobster ravioli. The lobster was very fresh - a rarity in ravioli. The texture was perfect and supplemented by shrimp in the wine sauce that added to the seafood flavor. The raviolis were also cooked to a great heat and consistency. I frequently found myself closing my eyes to enjoy them.
Not the most elegant of surroundings, but really great food for the price.
