| - Beef and Barley?
Brats n Beer?
Course not, it's Mario and Joe!
And this place is great.
OK, I was intimidated by the $$$$ in the review profile (this ain't no Mozza). But, you can still have an outstanding meal with a pretty good market value without feeling abused. A romantic laidback place with music from Stevie Ray Vaughn then Prince makes for a comfy place.
We were hungry but split everything, as we often do. You know the portions are gonna be ample, and this way, you can try more things to sample. And though their policy is not split stuff, just ask, it's no big deal. They'll be happy to do it.
The Spaghettini with Spicy Budding Chives, Sweet Garlic and One Pound Lobster was simple yet soo good. Imagine a light arribiatta sauce, yet when I mentioned as much to our server, well, she had never heard of arrabiatta. Oh well. In fact, our server was fine, but we loved the teamwork provided by (what musta been) the manager, who kept the momentum of our meal and seemed to offer good information when asked.
We also had the Branzino, which I see 50% of the Yelpers also enjoyed. 'Nuff said. We loved it, and it was plenty big to share. We also enjoyed the side of squash---normally not a squash fan--and it sounds better than just 'squash'. And it was perfect.
Ended with the warm chocolate budino, a nice way to go. Their coffees were great; wine was divine, and their martini was made to order and a better deal than the same in L.A. The whole place was as tasty and laidback as a Hatfields. When we're in Vegas again, we'd go back to B&B in a flash.
