Set in a remodeled home, we felt both at home and underdressed at the same time. I read somewhere it was casual but the fancy table linens and the attire of the rest of the guests made me feel a bit self-concious. However, the staff was super friendly and put any tensions at ease.
The food is standard contemporary american stuff – meat, seafood, etc. The portions were actually much larger than similarly priced establishments. However, I’d have the say the food quality was sort of a notch lower than what I expected. It was a pleasant experience nonetheless.
I was deciding between this and the braised short rib. I think I should have done the short rib. The rib eye just didn’t taste that high quality and the meat was chewy.
A whole boneless trout fillet pan-fried on top of a bed of buttery brown rice and veggies. Prob too much butter for many folk, but the trout itself was cooked well. I love it when trout doesn’t have bones!
Crab cakes were the best I’ve had in a long time. Chock full of crab and very little filler. The crunchy breading is a nice balance to the soft crab filling. Tasty sauce on top too.
Actually weren’t very mini. 3 decent sized portions of the chef’s choice. We had an apple turnover pastry, cheesecake and chocolate bread pudding. The apple pastry was by far the best. Not a bad choice if you’re splitting dessert with others.
