Delicious. Do yourself a favor and get the scallops. It's an upscale restaurant with prices to match, but for a reason: much of the food is locally sourced. The crab cake appetizer was full of flavor, and the scallops were served with unique pairings of sauteed and crispy vegetables that worked perfectly together. The filet mignon was traditional, with mashed potato, green beans and carrot, and was cooked to perfection. Romantic atmosphere, and very accommodating staff. My only qualm was with the desert, which was a very dry cake. I have heard many good things about the pastry chef, so this may have been a one-off slice, or perhaps a fancy dry style cake that I've never experienced, but either way, I recommend you stick with a desert with a little more moisture. Drink selection was impressive, and I found a perfect pairing with each dish! Enjoy!
