I wish I had gone sooner! \nMy fianc\u00E9 and I made reservations (which is encouraged) for a Valentine's date night. Even on a busy night the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Our server Eric was very helpful and offered us several suggestions on the menu. The manager stopped by the table to make sure everything was going smoothly. The chef Donnie even came out to meet a lot of the guests. He stopped at our table and recommended a few of his favorite menu items. \nOkay so on to the food. The Mandrake is a tapas style restaurant (which we love) so you get to try a lot of different items. We ordered the brussel sprouts with prosciutto, lobster mac & cheese, risotto puppies and the special Oyster Rockefeller. The star of the night was the special. The oysters were the best oyster Rockefeller that I've had in a long time! But the presentation was crazy! They came to the table on fire! It was definitely s show stopper. My second favorite of the night was the lobster mac. You should definitely order this one. \nI can't wait to go back to this restaurant. The food is phenomenal. The service you receive here is exceptional as well."^^ . "2016-02-14T00:00:00"^^ .
