Where to start..

Where to start..

My fiance has amazing taste and knows what's up and what's good. She has impeccable flavor for the best places in town. I'm from a small town in northern Illinois and am not used to these places.

She surprised me by taking me here for my birthday.

At first I didn't know what to expect. It looked like the French Mafia was waiting for me inside because I missed my last payment. Well it was definitely a restaurant from some type of Oscar Worthy movie like that but without the imminent threat of the mafia taking me out back.

The hostess set us down after I had some time to take in the aesthetic, and classicly lighted atmosphere. We were treated very well by our waiter and I started with oysters which brought me back to my summer in cape cod. Incredibly succulent and delicious and fresh!

The lamb chops I had were perfectly seasoned and cooked to their medium perfection. The added fancy salt dish made it all the more better. The asparagus and broccolini were not overdone in the slightest and had by-the-book consistency. My fiance said her petite filet was one of the best she's ever had.

We finished with their famous chocolate pie. Best damn chocolate pie I probably will ever have in my entire life.
