Long story short, good food but bad service.
We had a dinner reservation but arrived 15 mins early, so we sat at the bar and got some drinks while we waited for our table. I got the spicy senorita with the Don Julio tequila substitute. Very delicious, loved the kick!
Once we were seated, we ordered all of our dishes at once, from wine to entrees. We wanted a bottle of Artemis cabernet, but they were out of it, so we got the Pride mountain vineyards cabernet.
For appetizers, we got a half-dozen oysters, New England clam chowder (Tender Atlantic Littleneck Clams, Cream, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Fresh Herbs), and heirloom beet & citrus salad (Ricotta, Grapefruit, Toasted Pistachios, Oranges, Micro Greens, Citrus-Shallot Vinaigrette). Loved the oysters. The chowder was pretty dang good - we wished they'd split it for us into two small bowls, but we made do. The beet and citrus salad was IMPECCABLE. And they split this for us into two dishes, so that was very nice. Loved the combination of beets with the sweet ricotta cheese and that tangy sweetness of grapefruit pieces!
Now, this is where we felt service went downhill. We waited over 30 minutes for our entrees to come out, and our waitress did not check in with us at all during that time. We eventually had to flag down another waiter and ask him to check on our dishes. 5 minutes later, our entrees were out. No acknowledgement from our waitress regarding the wait time... So we were a little displeased with that part.
For entrees, we got the braised black angus short rib (Soy-Ginger Glaze, Toasted Garlic & Sesame Sticky Rice, Pickled Red Cabbage With Serrano Chiles, Pan Jus Reduction) with 3 giant white prawns on the side, and pan blackened sea scallops (Sweet Corn Buttermilk Whipped Potatoes, Maine Lobster & Garlic Pan Sauce, Micro Arugula In Lemon Vinaigrette). The short rib went very well with the rice. And definitely enjoyed those prawns! The scallops are very large - 3 pieces total, and very salty! We couldn't finish them. However, they are done to the perfect temperature/texture.
Good meal and good company, but could improve service.
