The service here is exceptional. Our server, Rio, was super attentive but not intrusive. He always made sure we had what we needed and checked to see if everything was tasting good.
I had the roasted corn chowder to start, it was so good. I was surprised, as this is not a common soup I see on any menu. Certainly made me happy, as it happens to be one of my favourites. The others in my group had the house salad, which they said was quite delicious. They serve complimentary sourdough bread; it was hot and tasty and disappeared very quickly.
My prime rib (10oz) was perfectly medium rare. It was divine, tender and juicy. I ordered a side of scallops. They were sweet and not too salty, seared just right. The only part of the meal that was not great were the mashed potatoes that came with the entree. They were very "meh" and could have been used as plaster as they were very dense. Otherwise, everything tasted great. The au jus is not overly salty, the creamy horseradish is more cream than horseradish. I happen to like mine with a little more zing. My mother got the grilled asparagus with crab and bearnaise as an add on and she loved it.
The red sangria was tasty, not too sweet, had a fair amount of fruit. I loved my Cosmo and would have had a second one if I had not been saving room for dessert. The crème brulée was very creamy and full of vanilla bean seeds. The others had the sizzling deep dish apple pie. It is served it on a super hot platter then pour the caramel sauce on top.
The dining room is very open but it also feels intimate at the same time. Despite the amount of people, it also was not too noisy.
