| - This was my second time here, as I came June 2017 when they opened not too long ago.
I called to make a reservation for my friend's birthday, and they were really thorough with their questions. Asking whether we had any food allergies, and asking what the occasion was for. I was really surprised when they said because it was for a birthday, they have a birthday dessert on the house, and if you want to bring your own cake, then there will be a cake charge.
When I got there, I was greeted by a very nice hostess, who acknowledged that it was my friend's birthday, and asked if I wanted to pick, or just have a surprise. I picked a surprise.
The dining room was very nice and romantic. Dimmed lights, candles, soft music, rustic feel.
The server was very polite and nice! Gave us some suggestions and recommendations.
We decided to try the duck pate, brussel sprouts and lamb shank.
She said the duck pate was newly vamped with presentation. It was very nicely presented, the duck pate was not too salty and complemented well with all the crackers that it came with.
The Brussel Sprouts were nicely glazed with a sweetness to offset the bitterness, and the creamy sauce it came with was so good! it was garlicky, and so yummmms!
The lamb shank was a pretty good size for sharing between my friend and I. It was nicely cooked at medium rare as requested. Nice and tender, complemented well with the sides.
After dinner, we were offered the dessert menu, then soon after the waitress came with a strawberry cake with a sparkler for my friend. She was indeed very surprised and happy. The cake was very moist, the strawberries were not too tart.
They made it a goal to put service priority at this restaurant, and it's very rare to see that now a days. The servers always came by to refill our water, and never pressured us to leave after dinner. Wonderful experience, and such a nice outing!!
When i came in June, the place was packed, and we were only able to sit at the bar, so definitely make a reservation, as it does get busy, and parking gets limited in the summer!
