My girlfriend and I both ordered the Chef's choice dinner menu with the wine pairing hoping for a leisurely Friday evening dinner. We were given complimentary hummus syle spread and chick pea appitizers which would have been a nice to enjoy but the first course arrived ten seconds later.
The waitress then brought the second course less than halfway through the first course and our dinner started to feel like we were going to be out of the place in less than half an hour. We requested that things slow down a little. There was also no explaination of the food itself when it was brought to the table and it all felt a little impersonal. The food however was very fresh and well presented. So far we had both enjoyed the salad followed by the ravioli. The white wine pairing was also a nice choice. My girlfriend ordered the pork loin and I ordered the salmon. Both meals arrived looking identical in presentation except for the fish was in the place of the pork on my girlfriends plate. There needs to be more creativity in the main courses to feel like you are not getting a production line dinner. The red wine pairing was good for the pork but not the salmon. Finally, the dessert arrived and once again the dissapointment of seeing strawberries on one plate accompanying a tiramisu and strawberries on the other plate accompanying a peach cobbler! It stared to feel like a big chain restaurant trying to be a small family restaurant. Needs to try harder to bring me back.
Pros: Could be excellent
Cons: Needs to rethink itself
