I am giving my review only 4 stars due to temp in the restaurant, SLOW service and not enough food. We had 11 people who got together and did a chef tasting. The process took 3.5 hours! Service was painfully slow...each person did not get their own plate but a platter of a few things put in the middle of the table. Basically each person got a bite. Not nearly the food we felt we should have received for the price. We would NOT do a chef tasting again. The restaurant was HOT, slow and wearrived and left hungry.
The food: in a word FANTASTIC! Bacon wrapped dates in espresso aoli, fried crab balls, pork tenderloin, salad with butter lettuce and fresh shaved cheese....OH MY! I love the creative idea behind the dishes served. Flavor profiles were spot on in all dishes. For that reason alone, we would go back to this restaurant. Even the drinks will surprise you in tast and creativity! We had a Pink Nancy in honor of breast cancer which was wonderfully refreshing. We also had Red Sangria which we also like but were told the White is even better.
We were not impressed with the Churros for dessert...basically just fried dough with little flavor and chocolate sauce that needed a bit more sweetness for our taste.
Go in a couple (not a group) and order a lot of food...you'll like the food!
