| - I had never heard of this restaurant until my husband suggested we take our mom's out to dinner here for Mother's Day.
We rolled up to valet service which was really nice. We had a 7pm reservation and were seated immediately. Our party of 4, then met our server Marvin, who was fabulous in every way. He was on point with all our questions, he was personable, charming and very attentive without being annoying.
We started with apps - BBQ shrimp, calamari and crab cakes. The portions were bigger than we expected and everyone enjoyed everything. The calamari app was the biggest and we had to have the rest boxed up because we couldn't finish it.
Next came salad...tomato mozzarella, two iceburg wedges with bacon and blue cheese crumbles and a steak house salad. I had asked originally to have the dressing for the steak house salad on the side, but the salad arrived with dressing on it and sadly it was overdressed. We told Marvin and he immediately whisked it away and came back with an undressed salad with dressing on the side. All the salads were fresh and crisp and delicious.
Then our main course. One ribeye with baked potato, one ribeye with lobster tail and shoestring fries, one NY strip with tempura onion rings and one order of lamb chops with sauteed mushrooms. When all the sizzling plates arrived, our mouths were watering. Everything was hot, cooked exactly as requested, well seasoned and perfect. Some sides were family size, and they weren't kidding. The shoestring fries were huge and scrumptious...just the right amount of crispiness. We had to box up a few things because there was just no way we could eat everything AND still have dessert.
Oh dessert...Crème Brûlée, cheesecake and two chocolate avalanches of ganache goodness with ice cream on top. To.Die.For. Everything was exquisite and just so flavorful.
But besides the food, and the amazing service (because did I mention Marvin was outstanding?), what we really enjoyed was that everything was so wonderfully spaced out. We didn't feel rushed. One course wasn't sent out until the course before was completely done. Everything from our arrival to the check was done purposefully to make the entire dinner an experience. Marvin even had the valet pull our car around before we left so it would be there when we exited. There's something to be said about a place that cares about every little detail, down to removing any crumbs from the table between courses and not being intrusive during the meal.
This was more than just a dinner, it's something we will remember for a long time. We are already trying to figure out when we can go back because this is an experience you should have more than one time. Oh Ruth Chris, you got it right!
