Quality/Quantity -
House Bread - Pretty good. They were warm and one of them was a cheesy mochi texture. The butter was already on the table when we sat down. We would have preferred sea salt on the butter.
Cucumber Crab Gazpacho - Special. Wow, This was really good, I regret not getting it. But then I would not have been able to get dessert as I am a light eater.
Dungeness Crab Cakes - Done well. Crispy on the outside, generous crab.
Creamy Five Onion Soup - Good.
Porterhouse Special - I am surprised I finished this, so good.
Sea Bass - Always good! We have been ordering this entree more and more as we dine out.
Lobster Tail - Another Special. Generous size.
Lemon Chicken - Not sure why my daughter ordered this??? Not her usual order. And of course, she took half of it home.
Diver Scallops Risotto - Good, felt that the scallops were slightly over cooked.
Rack of Lamb - Generous portions. I was impressed that our guest was able to finish this.
Filet Mignon - Good, except our 9 year old (yes, 9 years old, has a better palette than I) guest wanted medium and we all felt that this was cooked more medium rare. Nothing a microwave can't solve when she gets home.
Salmon - Good.
Desserts:
Key Lime Pies - 5 stars, my guest says that this is one of the best key lime pies he has had. And he orders this all the time.
Chocolate Cab Glazed Brownie - Good. The peanut butter ice cream was extremely good!
Baked Alaska - Impressed by the quality of the ice cream. It stayed firm the entire time my daughter slowly (and I mean slowly) ate it.
Sorbet Pineapple Banana - Good, our guests did not care for the macaroons.
Belgian Chocolate Mousse Cake - Good.
Todays drinks:
Republic Tea - Unlimited refills.
Lemonade - Custom made for my daughter with mixed berry puree, but not refillable.
Shirley Temples - Not refillable.
Malbec - Complimented perfectly with the Porterhouse Special.
Coffee - After dessert.
Atmosphere - Good size restaurant, actually looks like a motel entrance from the outside???
Several sections for private dining.
Outside patio, which I believe was closed.
Bar area, probably the busiest section of the restaurant today.
Clean organized bathroom.
Open 5 days a week from 5pm to 9pm, closed Sunday & Monday.
Plenty of private parking, but today seemed like a very slow day, not many customers.
Service -
It has been 5 years since our kids got together, what a great reunion.
So thank you Heidi who was very patient as we stayed 2.25 hours here talking, laughing, joking, etc. And some of us did not have the best jokes, sorry.
Price - $812 which includes the 20% gratuity. Expensive, but that is the price for good food and service. Thank you.
Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for over 16+ years. We will be back.
