My waitress, Kate was very helpful and advised I start with the Pear and Pecorino salad. It was very tasty but not anything special. My entree however was divine. I had something new.
I had the Surf and Turf and it was anything but ordinary. The three giant shrimps were grilled and seasoned with garlic. They were firm but melted in my mouth. The braised short ribs were soft and sensational with a lot of flavor. The horseradish mashed potato puree was so good I practically licked the plate. I would recommend the entree as a must try. It was one of the best meals of this year.
The salad was good just nothing exceptional. The dessert I tried was also excellent. I tried the Devil's Food cake with malt balls ice cream. It was sweet and tangy and unlike any dessert I have ever tried.
The entree was five out of five stars.
The dessert was four out of five stars and the salad was three out of 5 stars.
