| - We drove past this place twice before we found it, it's pretty much nondescript. No bright lights or signage to catch your eyes at all. Then we found out it has been there 8 years, which was a total shocker to me!
The waitress we had was well-informed regarding the menu, and all items were quite fresh (obviously!). It was crowded and noisy, but that really didn't bother us since we were there to socialize with our friends!
The appetizers we had were fancy, but not fulfilling--heirloom tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and a cheese/cracker strawberry compote plate.
Between the six of us we had the scallops, swordfish, veal and duck. All were cooked perfectly, and the presentation was very chic (not as chic as Salt of the Earth). We all thought the swordfish was fabulous, it truly melted in your mouth. The protein, of course, is the main feature on the dish, and the portions were fine. It would have been nice to have a little larger portion of the sides that accompanied the protein, couscous and kale were with the swordfish.
Desserts we tried were the trio of sorbets, creme brulee and a toffee chocolate cake. I'm a huge fan of creme brulee, and this was good, but the not the best I've ever had. Small portions but tasty. Again, presentation was lovely.
The guys in the group left saying they needed some "real food," which translates to bulkier portions, but the women were satisfied.
