| - This was the very best meal I've eaten in quite a while. The meal was wonderful, tasty, unique, beautifully balanced.
My dining companion and I split the wheatberry salad as an appetizer, we ate about half of it because we didn't want to be too full for our entrees. We took it to go and ate it the next day. The salad was mostly wheatberries (think barley), edamame, black beans, and tomatoes all in a nice vinaigrette. It was really nice, the bright acidity of the vinaigrette balanced well against the beans and edamame.
For an entree my dining companion had a large portion of the crab falafel. It had about 8 pieces over what was probably an entire zucchini with feta and a vinaigrette. She liked it a lot and I tried a couple bites and thought it was very tasty.
I had the special, a black grouper with a purple potato and crab 'slaw.' It was amazing. The grouper was cooked perfectly, it was flaky and flavorful. It was served over a really nice sauce that was like hollandaise, buttery and lemony - perfect for the fish and really rich. The slaw was just unbelievable. It had very finely chopped cabbage, and a light dressing. The crab was tender and the potatoes were a little earthy and cooked just enough. The whole slaw was a little warm, and it was completely incredible. I've been wanting more of it for the last few days now.
Our waiter was great, although admittedly there were only two other tables there. We ate at about 5pm during a baseball game so he had plenty of time to pay attention to us. The restaurant was pretty and the view out the window of the soldier and sailors monument was great. Overall a lovely dinner. I'll be back.
