They have outside seating with heaters for chilly nights though we opted to sit inside.
The menu was interesting. It had something for everyone. Our enthusiastic server, Tiffany suggested we order 3 plates to a person so that is exactly what we did.
We started with the Crispy Calamari with Oyster Mushrooms in Spicy tomato sauce.
The Calamari was crispy alright but the tomato sauce was not spicy (not a hint of spice), in fact the sauce was bland and pretty tasteless. The second course was the Roasted Beets which had goat cheese, sundried Bing cherries, candied walnuts in a sherry vinaigrette. That was very good; something that we would definitely order again. If you like beets and goat cheese, you will love this dish!
We ordered the Sweet Potato Fries with a creamy mustard sauce. This sauce was the best. It would have gone well with the Calamari; I think next time, they should serve this sauce instead of the "spicy" tomato sauce. The sweet potato fries were necessary to complement the meat dishes.
The Hanger Steak, marinated and grilled with chimichurri on top was quite tasty but the Lamb Lollipops with Serrano mint pesto & pureed hominy were excellent. We were happy we didn't order more as we were just about full but already thinking of dessert.
Tiffany came back to inform us we had one more dish...the Golden Crispy Goat Cheese Balls with caramelized onions and wild honey sauce. We sighed....but thought to ourselves..."the show must go on"....These balls were absolutely wonderful. Crispy outside and warm goat cheese inside. When you cut it in half and swirl it around the surrounding caramelized onions and honey sauce, all we could say was "WOW"!
What a nice way to end the meal (that is before dessert of course)
For dessert, we wanted something light so I suggested we order the Flute Limoncello; a lemon gelato swirled with limoncello. This was refreshing and truly delicious but hard to eat in a little flute. We dumped the whole thing on a plate and spread the limoncello which was all at the bottom and "whoala" it looked appealing and appetizing. I suggested to Tiffany that they serve this in a bowl instead of a flute.
Will they listen to 1 customer's suggestion? I doubt it....but you'll never know.
