Wow, people weren't kidding about the decor and color!! LOL
My husband and I trekked across town to have dinner out with our 10 mo old daughter. We had a nice sample of aps, meaty entrees, house made desserts and a couple of drinks :) The food was a bit all over the place, but when it was done right it was wonderful... at the same time when it fell it was pretty hard.
Ok, well whenever I see calamari on a menu I HAVE to try it, I've also never had deep fried pickles, but keep seeing them everywhere so decided to give in. I don't know what I was expecting from the pickles, but they def didn't hit the spot. Neither did the calamari (actually, I hate to say it, but it was the worst I've ever had... and I've tried A LOT)... so we ditched those and this time my husband picked one out, the Artichoke Crostini. Delicious! Def a must try.
My husband and I sampled the drink list as well... and the wine selection was nothing great, but the dinner menu had suggested pairings, which is nice. The beer selection was pretty nice! Lots of local and seasonal things from micro brews, which we always love to see! I was thrown off at first by the T.V. and 'sports bar' like atmosphere in the bar. It seemed a little out of place, but then I thought about the bright pink exterior and really, what can one expect? We didn't sample the harder alcohol because they didn't have any specialty cocktails (or at least we didn't receive a menu)... which always disappoints.
For my entree, the Rib-eye while my husband tried the grilled pork chop. I had a cup of their carrot-ginger soup, which was fine (I've had much better carrot-ginger at Jacs dinning and tap house on Monroe, mmmmmm). My steak was cooked fine, but lacked seasoning.... it came with a zin reduction which also lacked seasoning :( The garlic mash was alright. My husband's pork chop was great, the marinade was awesome! We didn't get to select our temp, and was personally over cooked (I'm a rare meat kind of girl), the rice was fine and mango salsa was great! Overall I'd order the pork again... not the steak. Husband:2 me:0
Dessert options were so, so. We went with Key Lime (husband) and Flan. The flan was fine, nothing really great there. The pie was great, so yet again my husband made the best choice.
They were super kid friendly! Don't know about the children's menu, but they were very supportive of our baby and we never once felt in the way or a bother to other diners, and this was on a Saturday night at 7.
We'll be back (probably not for some time... they are a little far for us aaaand in the middle of nowhere), but next time hubby makes all of the choices!!
It looks like they have music entertainment every night... the guy there when we were eating was OK... I guess, I'd just rather enjoy my meal listening to the radio... or anything else. It wasn't horrible (because we were far away) but they could probably save a bit and just can the live entertainment without anyone shedding a tear.
