But even if the prices were double, the food would still easily be worth it. But I'm sure glad they aren't, as I'd be going broke soon enough.\n\nA lot has been covered by reviews previous to mine. The atmosphere is odd, though separated enough that you can ignore the bar that offers little compared to the food on the table in front of you. I've had about half a dozen meals here now, and none of them have been short of outstanding.\n\nIf nothing else, the food is just simply perfectly cooked and seasoned. In particular, one of the specials, short ribs, is a dish you could easily pay upwards of thirty dollars for at a fine dining restaurant. And boy, is it just as good as all those other places. But not only is the meat good, even the vegetables are incredibly delicious. My mouth waters even thinking about how good that dish is.\n\nI've also had a burger here. I'd actually recommend going for a main dinner special over it, but it's still excellent. Of particular excellence is the onion rings. I got them in lieu of fries in order to lower the calories of my meal, but the fact is they're so good it's worth it to get them anyways.\n\nI've also had a pork chop special,chopped steak, a San Francisco melt sandwich, as well as the goat cheese cakes and the Chef's Indulgence dessert. The first time I got the goat cheese cakes, I was dumbfounded. It was the first item I had there, and it, no exaggeration, looked like a dish from a michelin-starred restaurant. The presentation was magnificent, and the cakes themselves were unbelievably textured and full of flavor. The Chef's Indulgence dessert struck me the same way - far more extravagant than a 5.99 price would suggest.\n\nIf you enjoy fine dining foods at a price that rivals a Dennys (who doesn't?), then make a point to visit Carlos' Kitchen."^^ .
