Three-Course Dinner for Two with Four Cocktails or Glasses of
Wine for only $45

Let me start of by saying that this has to be by far my most favorite coupon deal of all times! 


Riesling Wine 

My guy had this drink twice. It was super nice and refreshing. I wish I got the name of the bottle because it was a sweet Riesling and not a dry one. Would have gotten a bottle on our way home.




Acai something...

I had two of these... I forgot what was in it but I do know there was Brazilian rum in it. It was nice and strong, it had a hint of summer to it but warm enough to drink in the Fall. I really wish I took more notice to the drink menu!!! 



Spicy Fried Calamari – 12 
Fresh lemon and Sriracha-basil aioli

We had a choice of only one appetizer... but in all actuality... I love food and so does my man... so we said what the heck. The calamari was fresh and the aoli was even better. My only issue with this dish was that there was enough on the plate if we ordered that alone. 



Steamed Mussels – 13 
In a garlic and wine broth, with toasted ciabatta

These Muscles was the second appetizer  we decided to get... and thank God we did! the broth was beyond delicious and fresh. The muscles weren't over cooked, and the tomatoes had a nice bite to them. 



Toasted ciabatta

The bread that accompanied the muscles was super awesome!!! however... Why only send 3 pieces when there is the two of us? Yes we did fight over the last piece....


Chicken Piccatta – 17 
Pan-seared chicken, lemon-caper butter sauce, jasmine rice 

Now for the entrees!

I must say... I'm not a fan pf capers, but what they did to this dish made me re-think about those little green things!! the rice was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of vegetables added to it. The chicken was pounded thin and the sauce it sat in made it more than delicious.... mouth watering thinking about this dish again.....



Chicken & Shrimp Scampi – 17 
Sautéed with garlic, butter and herbs

This dish right here... although it looks simple... it did not lack in the flavor department. 
What i loved the most was the sauce and the perfect texture of the pasta. The chicken and the shrimp were only added bonuses. The pasta alone would have been great!!! 

This is an awesome dish for the summer and fall... not to heavy, not to light, just the right amount of food on the plate to make you say ooooooooh



Chocolate Mousse Cake

Now usually I'm not a fan of  chocolate, but this year I might have had more than have my weight in chocolate deserts and that's not counting other decadent deserts with out chocolate!! It was light, and fluffy. My boyfriend hates chocolate, but he too could not get over the fact at how irresistible this dish was. kudos to the bakery they get this cake from... again... I wish I paid more attention to the small things! 


I highly recommend scoring this coupon from amazon local if you have not done so already. This is a great way for businesses to score new customers and foodies alike to score big savings!!! Till next time!

I've done reviews about this place already... but just felt the quick need to show these awesome appetizers I had recently.


The Indian pancake... I believe there should be more pancake to this dish as they give you a lot of curry dipping sauce. 


I thought that my Shrimp Shumai came out really pretty. They put fake caviar on top and it left a little salty note to the shumai. Well done guys!!!





Well, this was another awesome experience at one of my favorite lunch spots!! Till next time

Sometimes looks may really be deceiving. unfortunately, I suffered this quote twice with the two dishes below. 

Doesn't this steak look out of this world? Well it was more like out of the trash.... It was well done, and I could not return it because we were at a wedding and everyone was running a muck. The stick says medium but it was cooked until it couldn't be cooked any more. Highly upset about this one.... The potatoes needed love and the greens on the plate needed Jesus...



The mother of all Fuck ups is here.

The Salmon needed the most help. I kid you not... it tasted like it had freezer burn. SERIOUSLY!!! This place is beautiful. Great service, and amazing drinks.... Why was their dinner not up to par? Thank god I stock up on the cocktail hour because this was unacceptable!!!


I wouldn't consider having my wedding reception here because of the amount of bad reviews we had that night... but on the bright side... there was a celebration at hand to be more than happy about!

Oh what an amazing Dinner this was!!! 

Please excuse the pictures in this post... I was more hungry than I was interested in getting pictures... 



These bread things here were amazing... I had no idea what they were called... but I kept stuffing my face with them! 

cheesebread


I loved how the men came with the meat and served you a sliver of what ever it was you wanted. A great way to try things and not have to be obligated to eat everything!

This was steak... Don't recall which kind but it was really good!


There was sausage and Wings Galore!!!




The sides they had kept coming at the table... I was really excited about the fried polenta and the sweet plantains... didn't care much about the mash potatoes.
