5 /5 B E: Absolutely outstanding. Allow me to commence by noting that, as a former head chef with over 25 years of experience trained at Johnson & Wales, my expectations are typically high. The pomegranate martini was not a standard measured drink, ensuring a generous serving of alcohol, which provided excellent value. The service from Craig and Rebecca was impeccable. As this occasion coincided with my wifes birthday and we were accompanied by friends, their attentive service significantly enhanced the experience. Our starters—spinach dip, charred octopus, and escargot—each surpassed expectations, being expertly cooked, seasoned to perfection, and served in substantial portions. For the main courses, our table ordered the New York strip steak with lobster tail, braised beef over mushroom risotto, blackened chicken over mushroom risotto, and mahi-mahi with crab and béarnaise sauce. I will not detail each dish to avoid an overly lengthy review; however, I must commend the kitchen staff for their exceptional skill and professionalism. We concluded the evening with a tart served with ice cream and brown butter sauce, which was the perfect finishing touch for a memorable night. In conclusion, while numerous reviews can be found online, it is important to note that the parking lot consistently spills onto the grass every evening, emphasizing the popularity of the establishment. For those seeking a high-quality dining experience, arriving early is advisable, as our longstanding patronage since 2002 suggests that we are not alone in endorsing this venue.
