From the moment you walk into this little local Branford restaurant you are greeting by a beautifully smiling staff. The hostess and manager greeted us at the door, we gave our reservation and we were brought to our seats right away. My boyfriend and I looked over the wine list, which was quite extensive, and settled on a bottle of Rex Hill pinot noir. Our server Ben, opened the bottle as he told us that nights additions to the menu. There were so many that sounded so amazing it was perfect. I settled on the chilean sea bass off the menu, over a picked lobster risotto, while my boyfriend chose the ahi tuna over their oriental style risotto. Both were absolutely out of the world! my sea bass which was blackened, was perfect, i don't like spicy but it was just right and the lobster risotto had large chunks of lobster meat throughout. need i say more? The tuna he ordered was medium rare, it was such a large piece i almost couldn't believe it. the risotto which had soy sauce and other spices went so perfectly with the fish he never stopped eating it! after wrapping what we had left it was time for the dessert. Ben once again surprised us with more memorized specials. we ordered the house made white chocolate creme brule, and the dessert special which had white chocolate gelato and sliced strawberries. both were out of this world!
It was such a beautiful experience from the time we walked in the door to the time we walked out we will definitely be back very soon! and definitely recommend this restaurant if you have never tried it!
