| - Dressler's did not disappoint! My college alumni local chapter held a meet and greet at the Metropolitan location. As it is Restaurant Week, the hubby and I decided we would give the place a try for dinner. Appetizers during the meet and greet were excellent! The New Orleans Style Shrimp, Baked Pimento Cheese (with tomato jam!) simply delish! After making our rounds, we sat down to dinner.
Can I just say the service was excellent!!! Our server, Brian was friendly and very attentive. We even were visited by Jon the owner, who gave me a great wine suggestion (Sokol Blosser "Evolution), which turned out to be the perfect compliment to my salmon.
We started with the Shrimp (which hubby should have tried at the meet and greet). It was seasoned to perfection, with just the right amount of heat and served with crusty baguette slices (my weakness).
As it was Restaurant Week we ordered for the Prix fix menu:
We both had the Wedge Salad. The lettuce was fresh and crisp, bleu cheese dressing nice and creamy. I had to make myself stop eating it to have room for my main course. I followed this with the Salmon, which was served with tomato risotto. Hubby ordered the crab cake. My Salmon was cooked perfectly, the risotto very flavorful. Hubby liked the crab, but wasn't crazy about the pecans in the remoulade.
I was stuffed after eating half my entree, so we got our dessert to go.
This was a great dining experience, from the ambience, to the food, and excellent service. We will have to revisit soon.
