Redux

Another great experience here celebrating a kids birthday; enjoyed the crab cake (new recipe is awesome), sliders and asparagus); enjoy picky guests enjoyed their meal; appreciate the chef’s ability to accommodate a no-salt diet for one in our party; server was prompt and excellent; looking forward to dinner here again.

So far we have dined twice. Both times the food was top notch, probably one of the best in area. Service was spot on. Chef came out to get feedback. Suggestions: advertise and make place look a little more open. Location is not that great so word of mouth and phenomenal food will get you back. I would not call family dining but more fine dining. Try it out

After eating here, we're not sure why this restaurant isn't busier. We'd read about it a while ago. We finally made it in. We're very glad that we did. The restaurant is not an easy one to find, or get into. For its location, the access is not convenient, which is probably the reason that it wasn't as busy as it should be. It's worth the effort. It is surprisingly well adorned on the inside for its relatively non descript location on the inside of a retail strip center. They happened to be participating in a restaurant week promotion while we were there. We started with a caprese salad and a grilled octopus salad. The caprese was the best presentation of a caprese that we've seen, and it was really good. The octopus was the best grilled octopus that I've had. Our entrees were a chicken roulade and a Korean short rib pasta. The roulade was vey tasty, not unlike an upscale thanksgiving dinner in the coolest package ever, without all of the family drama that comes with a family event. I didn't fully read the description of the short rib dish, so it was a great surprise when it arrived. It was a fusion pasta dish. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the short rib was so flavorful that I had fight my wife for it. The chef is from the south, so there is a little bit of a southern flair to the menu. Our server, Kyle, said that he worked in a good seafood restaurant in the area. It shows. He knows his way around seafood. Kyle was great, answering our questions and making wonderful suggestions. He also gave us the background on the restaurant that I've rambled about. If this restaurant were in a better location, I'm not sure that you could get in. Where it is, it's almost as much of a challenge to find its entrance. It is more than worth the effort, through. Enjoy.
