it's tue night so there's live band. lovely! the drawback was the re-arrangement of tables made it rather crowded...
manager Joe was very hospitable. a warm welcome by him and staff.
back to the food, i love their warm bread!!! could stuff myself just by eating those~~ the pate & herb butter took them from YUM to YYYYUUUUMMMMM
and their salad is also one of my all time favorite. love the dressing, made me clean up even the olives (i don't like olives and usually pick them out and put on the side)!
actually, i like their appetizers. we had parma ham w/ melon, escargot, foie gras & salad. all were yummy. my parents and hubby liked them~~
no complains on crab bisque and oyster chowder at all! btw, i like their french onion soup (from last time) too!
sorbet was melted when served, well, only 3 staff for 5 tables (1 with a party of 10-12, didn't count) and 2 parties in the 2 private rooms, guess they were to busy to deliver the dishes in time... taste-wise, i personally like the citrus (lime?) sorbet better.
seafood platter was good, as were the mains: veal rack, duck confit and baked fish.
a surprise birthday cake (cheesecake w/blueberry sauce) came with Joe and band singing me a birthday song!! (while we're still having our mains tho', so there were a little hectic on the table. =p)
other desserts came later: pear poached in red wine & orange, apple crumble & dark cherry clafoutis. always enjoy their desserts, still yet to try them all. but then i like these 3 so much that i don't want to give them up every time i come... (i'd better bring more people next time to share, then i can have these 3 AND some other ones! hehe)
coffee was fair. aroma was a little weak. we like that they serve it with warm milk, that's always a plus!
i wish they will keep up their yummy job, the hospitable service and be able to expand and to a roomier place soon.
a place to have a good time! (oh, they basically let you hang around for as long as you want! unless there're reservations coming up and they need your table. a big PLUS!!)
