| - My husband and I went for the first time on a Thursday evening to celebrate my birthday. I really appreciated the decor and ambience - it felt tasteful and warm, using fabrics, wood, etc. to keep the noise level down. (I am so over the extremely loud warehouse style with all the noise ricocheting off the hard surfaces.)
We were immediately greeted and seated. The restaurant appeared about half-full. Our server was quickly at our table bringing water and menus. While hubby's water glass was slow to be filled, the service was good.
I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, which arrived quickly and was very yummy! I was quite thrilled with the crisp texture of the shrimp and spicy sauce.
I had the fresh wild rockfish, thermidor-style, with mashed potatoes and steamed zucchini. The rockfish was perfectly cooked, moist, with good texture. The sauce was a little bit too salty. I was a little disconcerted by the four 2-inch long bones I found in my first fillet. Admittedly, our server only stopped by once but the manager was roaming the dining room and stopped at our table. When my husband pointed out the bones, she was quite insistent on bringing me new meal. I was a bit reluctant as I was already halfway through my meal but she insisted. The second meal arrived quite quickly. She also insisted on giving my husband a dessert so I would not be the only person at the table with the plate. (He tends to eat quite quickly and had already finished his meal.)
Hubby had a hamburger, plain with cheese only and fries. Sigh... The fries were fresh potato chips and he really liked them. He said the hamburger was just okay. (Fuddruckers is his favorite.) and although our server didn't ask how he would like it cooked, it was medium, just the way he likes it.
The crème brûlée was wonderful, as well as my complementary coconut pie with rum sauce.
The portions were just right, not huge nor lacking. They happily accepted our $10 coupon that we found online. We will definitely recommend BFG to our friends and return ourselves.
