I came during restaurant week (my favorite time of the year!), but ended up just ordering off the regular menu. I went with a group of three others and we all pretty much ordered the same thing. Everyone started with the crab and corn chowder, which was excellent and light and full of crab. My salad was the smoked duck breast salad with strawberries and chevre, which was great! It was my first experience eating duck and i was not disappointed.
Let me back track, two ppl ordered a cheese plate and charcuterie board. It was SO MINIMAL! Like, i don't understand how they could charge $14 for the cheese and $14 for the charcuterie. It should have been both together for the $14, in my opinion. We all did the 4 course meal, two with wine pairings. There was not even an offer or suggestion on an additional glass of wine with the charcuterie, which was surprising. It was also difficult to flag down our server, even though it is a rather small establishment, to order wine. One person in the party asked for a glass of champagne and the server poured it into the wine glass at the table. HEAVENS! should it not come in a flute??
Back to the food. The soup and salad courses were wonderful, and then came the entree. We all got the crab stuffed salmon which came over rice with a sauce over top of it. Salmon was perfectly cooked, i thoroughly enjoyed the main course and the flavor profile. I got the espresso chocolate mouse, which was pretty good but more in the bittersweet side. I took some of the caramel on my friend's sticky toffee pudding and that made the mousse so much better! I was given one bite of sticky toffee pudding from my friend and it was phenomenal! Next time I'll get that instead of trying to order something different just bc we're all ordering the same things.
One friend requested an additional sticky toffee pudding to go and the server she asked said she would try, but the ice cream isn't portable. It would slide off the pudding. My friend asked "do you have a cardboard or Styrofoam box? " she nodded, "it will be just fine". Never in my day had anyone told me i can't have a dessert to go bc the ice cream isn't portable and would roll off the dang cake. You package it separately, man! I was a server for over ten years and that was never a concern of mine!
All in all great food, smaller portions, so you're just satisfied and not full or stuffed at the end. It would have been nice if the portions were a lil bit bigger so i would have some left over to take home, but i was still pleased with the food, service and price! I will certainly be back!
