When ever I go out to eat at a new place..there's only two categories Winners and Losers. This one was a winner...for dinner.\r
\r
I found this place by chance on Groupon and was absolutely and pleasantly surprised. \r
\r
I was wary at 1st because this place was out of the way, in a strip mall, and had only a few patrons around 8:00 p.m., although it was a Thursday.\r
\r
From the inside, the restaurant was very contemporary in design...very modern and classy, but since the weather was so nice..it was good that they had outside seating.\r
\r
The service was awesome, friendly staff. Staff members were knowledgable in their wine recommendations. Patrons were also nice enough to inform us about Wednesday 1/2 off wine bottles, and tasting specials.\r
\r
What we ordered: A bottle of wine, an artichoke dip appetizer, the blackened grouper, and medallion pork tenderloins. Everyting was excellent, high quality fair, and I was taken off guard. Portions were not petite, but not overly filling. They were just right.\r
\r
1st. The artichoke dip was light and fluffy, and you could taste real artichoke in it. Presentaion was beautiful star shaped, with lightly fried tortilla chips. It was incredibly good.\r
\r
2nd. Wine was Pinot Noir, and was an excellent recommendation with the food.\r
\r
3rd. Grouper was cooked just right, served with I think some rice, and lightly seasoned vegetables. \r
\r
4th. The pork tenderlions were served with a light, salty, and savory asian sauce. Sweet potatoes mashed, and a side of the zuchinni/mix veggies. I have an appetite, and this was very delicous and filling. \r
\r
The best thing about all the food was that it was NOT over seasoned. You could still pick out the flavors of each ingredient and it tasted fresh. Our waiter was very friendly and educated us about the chef, also devulging the secret that the pork was well marinated.\r
\r
Over all...everything was a very good experience. Prices for an entree would range from $14-20. And wines $24-36. This is reasonable for the quality of food you're getting. \r
\r
I highly recommend this place...it's one of those tucked away little jewels, that could be a close held secret, but when the word gets out....the wait will be longer.
