Service was excellent, food was solid - some really good, some just OK, and wine was good and reasonably priced.
We had a reservation on a Thursday night, which was a good thing as they were quite busy. The restaurant seats a lot of people!
My wife wasn't sure about which wine to get, so our server brought out generous samples of 3 wines that he thought might be close to what she was looking for. She tried them and settled on the Cabernet. I ordered a martini - it was pretty good, but I believe set a new DSM area record price of $16. Not way out of whack, but I do think it's the most I've paid for a martini in DSM.
For dinner my wife got the Lean Menu Steak Medallions. They were very flavorful and tender. There were 2 vs. the serving size of 3 on the main menu, but the price was less, and her dish was under 600 calories. It is nice they have the lower calorie option section with a lot of selections.
I got the Pan Roasted Mahi Mahi. Now, we just got back from Gulf Shores, AL, so the fish was obviously not as fresh, BUT it was tasty, and the preparations was very nice.
We did splurge on the chocolate cake for dessert, and our server brought another wine sample that might go well with it, but we decided to stick with what we already had for beverages. The cake was pretty good, but not all that memorable. Probably wouldn't do it again, but some of the other options looked good and may be worth a try.
There was a table close to ours with a small dog that had it's own chair. The dog ate off it's owners plate, and was fed by them using their fork. Not entirely sure what the laws are regarding this, but that's the first time I've seen an animal at a table, dining off an entree inside a restaurant.
Prices are a bit on the high side for DSM, but the service was excellent and the food was very good.
