3 /5 Kathy Escott: Our first visit. Good cocktails: Smoked Maple & Walnut Old Fashioned, Cosmojito and a glass of Chardonnay.
Appetizer: Caesar Salad. Good with anchovies on top, but lacked acid. It was nothing out of the ordinary. I would expect more for $21.
Entrees:
Shishito Pesto Pasta was good but made with boxed pasta. For $43, we would expect the pasta to be freshly made.
Seared Scallops with Beet Risotto had a great balance of flavor, but not for $53. Scallops were done perfectly with great flavor. The beet risotto not at all resembled risotto. Risotto should be made with arborio rice and have a creamy texture. Instead, whichever rice they used, long grain possibly, was par cooked, not al dente.
Beef Lasagna was okay. I wouldve liked some cheese in between layers. Again, for $33, I wouldve expected more.
Lamb Shank was good, but Laili down the street does it better, for less. My husband was not impressed, in spite of its beautiful presentation.
Desserts: Bread Pudding & Vanilla Creme Brulee. Decent but not great.
The service was excellent. The ambiance was nice, but again, for the price, I would expect a bit more sophistication.
All four of us agreed that we will not be going back.
