| - I ended up having dinner here on a recent trip and loved it. We had a big group and tried damn near everything on the menu.
We started with drinks, martinis' to be exact, and they instantly won me over when they said they would stuff my olives with blue cheese. We also had a few bottles of wine, our favorite was the Soter Pinot Noir, that stuff was amazing!
The appetizers were all good too... The two that really stuck out were the Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella and the warm Maine lobster salad, I could have made that my meal!
The entrees were fantastic too, just one miss in the bunch and that was the Pad Thai, too sweet and not hot enough, but hey, it's not a Thai joint, so the expectations shouldn't be that high. The things that were must haves were the Short ribs with horseradish mashed potatoes, good god they were the best I have had in some time, I will get this if I ever make it back. The bacon wrapped pork tenderloin was cooked perfectly, the rack of lamb was tasty, but a little undercooked for my liking and the scallops were big and came with the "forbidden" rice, which was like an asian risotto, very tasty.
The lavender creme brulee was fantastic at first, but if I had to eat a whole one, it would have been over powering...
The service was excellent, we were a big group, a little rowdy and the wait staff handled us well. From the drink requests to the wine recommendations, we were taken very good care of and I hope I'm able to go back soon...
