| - Came here for Winterlicious with a friend based on a foodie's recommendation. Slightly disappointed.
Ordered the Shrimp & Lobster bisque as an app, which was really the highlight of the entire meal - unfortunate because it was only downhill from there. Also, didn't find any actual seafood in the bisque - not sure if that's how it's always served or not, but it had a nice kick to it and a beautiful consistency. The dough on top of the pot was deeeelicious.
For the main I ordered pork 2 ways. I was looking forward to trying the not-steak item on the menu even though I heard their steaks were great (though NOT "melt in your mouth" according to my friend), but was kind of disappointed. It was pork belly and pork ribs with some coleslaw, beans & fries. For lunch, the portion was GIGANTIC, but the quality was so-so. The sauce on the pork tasted like it came from a mid-range Chinese restaurant, and the beans didn't have anything special. The pork belly was yummy, but the ribs were lukewarm and had no kick to them, though they were soft. It felt like somebody forgot about the entree.
For dessert, ordered the mixed shortcake. Tasted good, but nothing innovative or special.
All in all, kind of disappointed.
