Review of Restaurant August

Absolutely a great dining experience!

Absolutely a great dining experience!
First of all, our server Robert was so great! So knowledgable about the dishes, so kind and warm, and such a genuinely nice guy! The food was fantastic! We had the following:
* Salad of Royal Red Shrimp - delicious!
* Potato Gnocchi - delicate and divine!
* Hot & Sour Shrimp Dumplings - we asked for them to be a little extra spicy and they were soooooo good! It makes my mouth water thinking about this dish and the wonderful broth they were in. I would order 3 orders of this next time and just eat this with the french bread to dip into the juice!
* Pork Loin - this wasn t my favorite but I m just not a fan of medium cook on pork dishes and that is the way this one is done, on purpose - but this one is brined first, then roasted to medium so if you like it that way, you will love this one.
* Roasted Swordfish - OMG this was amazing! It comes in a smoked beef marrow juicy roux and it was heavenly!
* Chocolate tart - Yumm!
* Cornmeal Chess pie - Double Yummm! (Those popcorn crispy things with the popcorn ice cream...get out!)
LOVED this place!
Oh PS: We dressed nicely and husband wore suit and tie but the table next to us had men dressed in jeans, t-shirts, tennis shoes - so there is no enforced dress coat - we didn t mind.
