| - WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL! For Valentine's Day weekend, my husband and I decided to try somewhere new. I actually used opentable to make reservations. The description interested us because it said the restaurant has been there since 1976. Very unique, vintage atmosphere. When we got there, we had to wait for our table to be prepared. The owner, George, came up to us and introduced himself to us. Very classic, old school service. We were sat in this tiny corner booth. Just my husband and I could fit in. The cozy seating and great lighting made for a very intimate evening.
We both ordered off of the Prix Fare, very reasonable for $38. The meal starts with a veggie basket and fresh bread. Each of us ordered the seafood bouchee as an appetizer. Loved every bite! Cleaned my plate! He had the chicken dinner. I had the lamb shank. The lamb literally falls off the bone while you're eating it. Very tender and a great sauce over it. Both main dishes were served simple pasta over the same sauce. For dessert, each of us ordered the sorbet. It comes with 3 flavors. That night they were serving grapefruit, raspberry and vanilla. Neither one of us could decide which flavor we liked the best!
The servers are all very attentive. The wine list has a nice variety of choices and prices.
Once again, this was a perfect place to spend an evening having a slow paced, intimate, delicious meal. We will definitely be back!
