Walked in and was greeted by the hostess, seated immediately. Beginning the experience in a good way, but it is Monday at approx 4:30 so not the busiest of times.
The overall atmosphere is very nice, quiet but not overly so. You will not be reminded that there is a shopping mall right outside. Nicely lit but again, not overly bright nor dim. I would say just the right amount of lighting.
Our waitress is pleasant and personable. Unfortunately one of the drink orders (Peach Bellini) was not able to be filled, but the waitress did recommend an alternative (Georgia peach)which turned out to be a decent alternative (although the preference would have been the original).
Appetizers arrived promptly, we ordered the crispy fried cheese and the chicken pot stickers. Both were excellent!
I ordered the Mushroom burger and a salad and my wife ordered the crispy Romano chicken. First the salad - it was average. Not bad, but not memorable. The burger was ordered medium but arrived rare. I'm not picky about that so not an issue for me, but worth noting it didn't arrive as ordered. It was, one of the messiest burgers I've had in quite some time. Having said that, it was also one of the tastiest burgers I've had in a long time! My wife said the crispy Romano chicken was excellent!
Dessert! Ordered was the Very Cherry Ghirardelli Chocolate cheesecake and the Tiramisu cheesecake. Wow! This was definitely the highlight! Obviously the name of the restaurant says it but wow! Excellent!!! Highly recommend either of the desserts we ordered!
Overall, a good experience. The highlights were the desserts and our waitress Shay. Very helpful, and definitely one of the better waitresses we've had anywhere!
My rating would be a 4 star without the dessert, a 5 star with the dessert. The only real issue was the way the burger was served but again, it wasn't really an issue for me. I suppose that would drop the rating but since I didn't complain and see how they would have corrected it, I don't feel it would be fair for me to deduct from the rating.
