This is my first review of a restaurant but we had such a good time that I felt the need to share our experience. The Buggy Whip is a first rate restaurant. The exterior of the building was covered with beautiful green vines and there were lights strung through that sparkled in the night. The interior decor was pleasant, comfortable and roomy with tables and booths available as well as seating in the bar to enjoy a beverage and the background music of the piano player.\r
Our waitress (Erin M) was quite a character. She was very friendly, with a great sense of humor and attentive without being overzealous. She offered suggestions on food selections which was great since the menu selection was varied and tantalizing. We started off with drinks, a salad with a side of the Green Goddess dressing because we just had to try it and although it was tasty we probably won't order it again, and the clam chowder which was thick, creamy and flavorful. Two of us ordered the filet with lobster tail while the third member of our party ordered the filet mignon. The steaks were tender and juicy; the lobster tail was mouthwateringly wonderful. The baked potato was large and cooked through topped with fresh butter, sour cream and chives, the garlic mashed potatos were creamy and full of flavor, the french fries were french fries and the fresh, steamed veggies were firm and not mushy - we don't like mushy veggies. Since we were quite full from the wonderful meal with some leftovers for later we ordered a slice of cheesecake to go and we were quite surprised over the size of the slice - it was the kind of slice you would serve at home, not the typical sliver one usually receives at a restaurant. At first glance the prices were a bit of a surprise but after savoring every mouthful of our meal it was well worth the price. We definitely intend to go back and highly recommend this restaurant.
Pros: Two thumbs up
Cons: Probably not the place for young children
