Pretty good
Friday, June 08, 2007
The first thing I thought about this restaurant is that it's easy to see from the freeway, but kind of a pain to get to. Then there is pretty much only valet parking, which I hate. Luckily I was able to find street parking around the corner.
The bread is pretty good, and they were having a 50% off sale on bottles of wine.
I ordered the hanger steak which was pieces of steak marinated in red wine sauce, with a very rich mashed potatoes and grilled squashes. The steak was good, but I didn't like the potatoes too much or the vegetables.
I was very impressed that they didn't have the quintessential "chocolate lava cake" for dessert, but their chocolate cake wasn't that exciting anyway. It was a single serving size of chocolate cake with mousse on the top, and an orange flavor topping. The cappuccino was delicious, however, and comes with a free biscotti!
