3 /5 s Hillman: We celebrated Valentines Day here there was a five-course special that began with Zucchini Fritas, followed by Brussel Sprout salad with apples and walnuts, bread and cheese, Porcini and Portobello Ravioli, Filet of Beef Steak w/mushrooms and a dessert plate that had a chocolate covered strawberry, pistachio white chocolate mousse, a chocolate flourless torte and berries in a meringue cloud. The meal was finished with a heart-shaped muffin. We were served pretty quickly. Our waiter was very pleasant, and the first few selections were served quickly. We really did not care for the Zucchini appetizer. There was not enough zucchini, and it was greasy tasting. The salad was nice. The bread was unimpressive, not even as appetizing as Avantis bread and oil. The "cheese" that we were told was a popular item was a reimagined cheese mixture that contained several forms of cheese along with cream. It tasted bland and lacked authentic cheese flavor. Are ravioli was undercooked and chewy. It had a wonderful sauce and mushrooms with it, but it was hard to get past the texture of the ravioli. After our ravioli was served, we ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our main entree. We noticed that a couple who came in after us received their entry prior to us. We really didnt complain because it was Valentines Day. Our waitress made an excuse that there was some type of delay in the kitchen, but we could see that it clearly a "mixup." By the time that we received our main course, our dessert plate was already being served.
Our waiter and waitress that served us were pleasant, but for the price we paid, we would not revisit this restaurant.
