Tried out the restaurant for the first time last Friday night. Started with drink upstairs at the bar--friendly service and a good wine selection. My husband and I did the Restaurant Week special, which was 2 appetizers, 2 main courses and a shared dessert for $35. Really an amazing deal for the quality of food. I could have eaten 5 bowls of the fried spinach and the bacon wrapped dates were as good as advertised. Mains were a nicely roasted chicken and grilled salmon with beet risotto. Nothing earth-shattering, but well-prepared and flavorful. Well-priced wine list with a good variety. Spent some time chatting with Dave--he couldn't have been nicer. The biggest negative for me is the awkward layout of the main floor dining area. Those semi-circle booths probably work well for a party of 4, but are awkward for a party of 2. We kind of ended up sitting next to each other looking into the center of the room. Most of the other 2 and 4-tops are set up so you end up sitting pretty close to the other tables. I was pleasantly surprised by our dinner and look forward to trying out the rest of the menu.
