| - I saw a couple of reviews on this restaurant and had to go check it out because it's in my back yard. From the moment we walked in until the moment we walked out it was perfection. We were seated immediately and started checking out the menu. We noticed that you could gets 1oz and 3oz pours of wine. Our server, Marissa, talked with us about all of the different wines. We made our own wine flight of four 3oz pours. We tried a Chardonnay, a Reisling, a blush, and a Red. The manager actually chose the red we tried. About that time they turned the fireplace on. Wine and a fireplace = cozy. We decided what we were going to eat while sipping the wines. We ordered two appetizers and an entree. The first entree was Ahi Tuna with sticky rice. It was served on a wooden board-Tuna down one side and sticky rice down the other. The sticky rice had been toasted and was a little crispy on the outside. There was a very tasty sauce used to decorate the board but was also used to dip the rice in. Then the 2nd appetizer came out-mussels. I had only tried mussels once before and I was not a fan. They brought out a huge bowl of mussels with frites on top. The frites were crispy shoestring potatoes Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. I started eating the frites and my hubby started eating the mussels. He commented that they were the best mussels he had ever had. My curiosity won out and I had to try them. I ended up eating half of the bowl! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. . For an entree we picked a Charcuterie Board. You could get it with or without roasted vegetables. We chose without because we're already getting full. Lo, and behold, they brought us out the biggest Charcuterie Board I have ever seen! There was meats and cheeses, bacon Jam and figs, pickled grapes and grapes that tasted like cinnamon, pita points and slices of baguettes, almonds, just endless tastes, textures and flavors. We tried them all and ate them all. What is crazy is that I wanted to try a "jug" for dessert but I was waaayy to full. I guess I'll just have to go back. LOL
