Review content:
Went there on a Thursday evening for dinner at about 5:30. We were the only people in the place, although more straggled in as we finished. Restaurant Week they give you four courses - everyone gets the wild mushroom soup, and then you can pick an appetizer or salad, an entree, and a dessert. The soup was frankly very bland and uninspiring. They did give us bread, which was small dinner rolls and was fine, and a pesto dipping sauce which was very nice. We each had a drink, which was $8 for her mixed drink and $6 for my Sangria. Both were in relatively small glasses with lots of ice, so be careful. I had the Boston salad with blue cheese and apples, which was very good, and my wife had the lump crab cake with apples, which she also said was good.
The entrees arrived and were plated very nicely. I had the herbed pork with caramelized apples and onions, which was quite good and I recommend it. Mine came with wilted spinach, which was fine, and a mashed sweet potato dish that simply great. Wish I knew how to make that one at home. My wife had the scallops, which she said tasted fine but - only 3 scallops! They were served over a corn/tomato sauce combination which was good, and with a few potatoes scattered on the plate.
Dessert was good but nothing amazing. The creme brulee was tasty but served very plainly; the Grand Marnier souffle was fine but not inspiring of greatness. Having said all of this, even with the Restaurant Week plan the total came to just over a hundred bucks for two people. I honestly don't know what their regular prices are like, but I did not feel this was a dinner that deserved even as much as we paid, much less "full price." I recommend the place for the service and the view, which was very nice, but I think the pricing is simply not in line with what you get. We both left having enjoyed the evening, but we won't be back for any sort of regular visits.
