What an exceptional experience! Upon arrival for our anniversary dinner we were immediately greeted by a friendly host staff who had previously taken our reservation. We were kindly escorted to our table which was a uggested by the host via phone reservation. It was perfect. View of the dining room was beautiful and full of historic charm! Our server Emily was at our table within seconds and presented us with a plentiful wine and drink menu along with a spot on detail of specials and recommendations.
Glasses were never left empty, we were offered more bread twice though the portion was plenty, and checked on by her and three others numerous times while not once seeming intrusive. Our sommelier presented and poured with precision.
First plate was fun and not what we expected. We definitely recommend the "Pig and waffles".
Main courses included the Sea Scallop special with risotto and the Short Rib with potato cakes. Excellent all around save the amount of fat I did not specifically expect. The crust was perfect though on the beef.
After dinner we were presented with a delicious brownie ala mode with a candle to celebrate our special evening.
Only one negative that was a simple oversight, we took half our bottle of wine with us and the staff did not properly Secure the cork and it spilled in the car. Their saving grace was the water tight sealed bag it was placed in for transport though the wine could not be recovered.
All things considered, 5STARS!
Make the trip, go during busy hours and make reservations! The atmosphere is perfect! Take friends, family, even enemies, as it will surely be a night to remember and heal any wound.
Thank you to the staff for a great experience.
