| - Went for dinner last night (a Wednesday) with a friend, my first time. Firstly, the service was excellent. I arrived 20 minutes before my friend so killed time at the bar, where the staff was incredibly friendly. The bartender offered me complimentary bread as I waited - even though I was only sipping a water until my friend arrived.
Those little breads are amazingly delicious, incredibly flavorful, flaky and moist - they almost stole the show from my dinner.
The interior is very nice. We ended up sitting in a generously-sized but very nice booth. (I'm a big girl so worry about sitting in booths that may be too small to accomodate me, but no problems here). The table and combination booth/chair seating looked great and very comfortable.
My dinner was very, very good. The salmon was crispy and very well seasoned on the outside, and flaky/juicy on the inside. I really would go so far as to say that it was the best-tasting restaurant salmon I've had. The shrimp skewer had a very smoky flavor, just divine. My side was the tomatos covered in balsamic dressing, which tasted as expected, nothing great but not bad at all.
The broccoli/cheese soup had one minor flaw, it was a little too salty for my taste. However, when I bit into the large, obviously fresh and still crunchy pieces of broccoli, that more than made up for the saltiness.
Unfortunately, we lingered a little too long so did not have time for dessert.
I am most definitely going to go back with family members to introduce them to this restaurant. I understand from other comments that this is a chain, but honestly, it was a great experience so that did not matter at all.
