Last Friday night my friends took me out to dinner for my birthday. Much to my surprise we went to the Slocum House. I had heard soooo much about it. And I must admit it was one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. First we sat outside on a wonderful evening, warm but not to hot. They had a great band playing and it was a perfect backround for dinner. They had a cool drink list that included an espresso martini that I really liked. My friends had a bottle of rose` that was light, dry and refreshing with a taste of strawberrys. Our sever was smart and helpful and not all stuffy. One thing that we all noticed was how clean the place was. Even the bathrooms were spotless. They have these pretty chickens that stroll aruond the gardens. One was even walking with her baby chicks ( 6 of them)! We split an order of crab cakes and ahi cones. We all agreed that the crab cakes were without aquestion the finest we ever had. All jumbo lump crab fresh and clean tasting needing only a little squeeze of lemon. Perfecty cooked in butter(i think). And the ahi cones reminded me of Hawaii. I could have been happy with just those! We all shared entrees of wild salmon, filet mingnon, lamb and huge prawns. All the entrees come with soup or salad, vegys and killer mashed potatoes. We had an absolute blast. For dessert we all had creme brulee. Really good too. We stayed until way after the band left. Just sat and chatted on that wonderful courtyard with little twinkle lights that are so romantic. I wish every time I went out for dinner it would be like that. I really can't wait to go back. As we left I asked about the entertainment and found out that every weekend including Sunday they have light jazz on the courtyard through October. If you are thinking about going we sat on table 92. Very private with great views for watching the band.
Pros: Food, Service And Very Romantic Setting
Cons: The Restaurant Sits On A Hill So If You Don't Want To Walk Up The Steps Park In Back
