I was very apprehensive going here based on all of the reviews; however, my wife and I decided to see for ourselves what it was like. The short and neat version of our dining experience could be summed up like this; very romantic, good service, great atmosphere, food could have been a lot better for the price. It was dark when we arrived but the front of the restaurant was very pretty with lights placed on the railings and around the front entrance. Very inviting. Some reviewers have complained that the inside of the restaurant was like eating at an old ladies house. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. The table we were taken to first was in a heavy traffic area. I requested another table with they promptly and graciously took us to. The second table was very romantic and very secluded. Once seated the waiter (Michael) quickly greeted us. He was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The wait staff was non-intrusive but watchful. Our drinks never ran dry. We started the meal with an appetizer, Wild Baby Mushrooms with Crispy Polenta. Virtually tasteless. Disappointing start. Next we both ordered the same entree, New Zealand King Salmon, Oregon Bay Shrimp and Pacific Dungeness Crab Roulade. Bland... bland... bland. My wife mentioned that if it just had more sauce it would have been better. I don't think the sauce could have saved it. I really expected MUCH more from the food than this. We skipped dessert. I really don't mind shelling out $90.00 for a nice meal for two but I expect more. We didn't purchase any drinks from the bar so I have no idea what that was like. It was disappointing meal but to be honest, it was still a very romantic place to go for our post-Valentine's Day celebration. We decided that we more than likely won't go back. I wish I could give it a better rating but... 3 1/2 stars is about all I can do. P.S. My wife loved the chickens roosting in the trees just outside the restaurant.
Pros: Good service, romantic
Cons: Parking, bland food
