We went here for a prix fixe Valentine's Day dinner with three courses and complimentary bubbly (a great deal at a total of $80/couple). Since we didn't go on a normal night, we can't comment on the regular menu items, but we can tell you what we had!
We started off with a "Kiss Martini"– a heavenly concoction of Godiva white chocolate liqueur, vodka and a Hershey's kiss. (Hey, it was Valentine's day!) Messy had a standard salad that was not especially good, although it was extraordinarily large. [Sidebar: Messy will never understand why restaurants insist on serving huge, uninspired salads. It's not like they make good leftovers.] Messy's main course was vegetable risotto– also very large but unfortunately, tasteless. Picky, on the other hand, started off with a wonderful lobster soup. (Not a bisque, don't call it a bisque! There is no cream added, it's just reduced.) The best part of the soup is the homemade sweet potato crisps lying right in it. Picky's entree was a delectable filet mignon with a Hawaiian coffee glaze. All this was washed down with a complimentary bottle of merlot (Picky has connections!)
We finished it off with a pretty tasty dessert sampler and two glasses of bubbly which neither of us finished - we're not big fans of the bubbly, but that's just us.
Messy **1/2
Picky ***1/2
The final word: A much better bang for your buck if you're a meat eater.
