A reliable chain restaurant! Because most chains tend to be worth 4 stars or less, I was inclined at first to give this review a knee jerk reaction of 4 stars. Reflecting on past meals here as well, I would've said it was a solid 4. However, based on our overall experience this evening, it truly deserves 5 stars. I can't think of a single flaw tonight.
The ambiance is cozy with an upscale feel without being stuffy. It had been about a year since I had dined here, and my family and I decided to stop in tonight. My mother and I each enjoyed a glass of Cabernet per our waiter's suggestion. It was delicious and paired nicely with our meal. As an appetizer, we shared the Roasted Mushroom Flatbread (portabella, shiitake, goat cheese, truffle oil, green onions). For entrees, my sister got the Brick Oven-Roasted Chilean Sea Bass (roasted mushrooms, wild rice pilaf, snow peas, ginger-sesame glaze). I got the 8 oz Wood Grilled Filet Mignonette (broccolini, roasted asparagus, Yukon mash, red wine sauce). Our mother got an extra plate to share with us.
Of course we couldn't leave without sharing a couple of mini indulgences. We went with the Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cannoli (ricotta and mascarpone, chocolate chips, cinnamon cannoli shell, raspberry sauce) and the Turtle Cheesecake (cheesecake, salted caramel, dark chocolate ganache, candied pecan). Everything was perfect and exceeded my expectations. Our server, Zach, was phenomenal throughout our whole dining experience. He was attentive without being overwhelming, had a great personality, and offered suggestions as well as complimented us on our choices. Next time we come back, we will definitely ask for him. Thank you for serving us!
