Boy are we glad that we chose this restaurant to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Everything was cooked to perfection. (I rarely post reviews so, you should know it’s GOOD when this Momma of five takes the time to write one for my fellow foodies;)
For an appetizer, we had the bacon honey brussel sprouts that were the best I’ve had (and I’ve tried them all at restaurants in the St Joseph area)- a perfect combo of savory and hint of sweet. The Caesar salad was generously sized, crisp, and delicious!
For the entrée, I ordered the Surf and Turf and my husband ordered the Garlic Ribeye. The filet mignon was so tender and I enjoyed the best lobster tail I ever had- cooked ever so perfectly to maintain its sweetness and meat delicately firm (I love good seafood!) The mashed potatoes, sauce, and asparagus were also very good and a perfect pairing. My husband highly enjoyed his Garlic Ribeye- it was FULL of flavor and melted in your mouth.
Our server Crystal was WONDERFUL keeping our glasses full through the night, checking in often to make sure we were doing well, and informing us of the timing of things. The owner stopped by to check in with us as well which was a wonderful surprise.
Lastly, a HUGE shout out to chef Chris who was flying solo tonight and cooked everything PERFECTLY!!! Amazing job!
If you are looking for an amazing restaurant with food that you will enjoy to the last bite and crave the moment you get home, this is the place for you!
