My wife and I were early bird diners, being seated promptly at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday evening. Our waitress quickly took our drink orders and explained the specials for the day. The white bread that was served while we waited for our appetizer course was dense, with a crisp crust and definitely above average compared to the white fluff that passes for bread in many of the restaurants in the area. The pear and gorgonzola salad had a light oil and vinegar dressing that allowed the flavors of the mixed greens and other ingredients to come through. The fried oyster and calamari appetizer we shared was served with two contrasting dipping sauces, one tomato based, one mayonaise based. Both were very good. I had the lemon glazed, ranch raised salmon which was baked to perfection and presented on a bed of wilted spinach and scalloped potatoes. My wife thoroughly enjoyed a goat cheese salad as her entree. I enjoyed the creme brulee for dessert, which was served warm, a change of pace from the usual custom, and one that allowed the subtle flavor of the dish to shine. Service was friendly and efficient. We would definitely go back.
