We visited a couple of weeks ago for the second Tuesday of the month Wine Dinner. At 6pm the restaurant was not crowded at all, and we were able to sit outside to enjoy an early spring evening and catch a beautiful sunset.\r
\r
The Wine Dinner started out with a Capirina and Plantain chips with a delightful Chimichurri sauce. Next we were served a fresh spinach salad with a nice house Cabernet Sauvignon. We then enjoyed an appetizer of chicken stuffed pastries and a perfectly paired house Chardonnay.\r
\r
The main course presented a tender, seared pork chop served with rice, grilled vegetables and a savory lime vinaigrette. The glass of Tannat complemented impeccably. \r
\r
While we don't typically indulge in dessert, it is part of the dinner. The Brazilian Banana's Foster was great. It was served with a Moscatel that was pleasant on its own, but too sweet with the dessert. I would rather have had coffee with it.\r
\r
We will definitely go back to this place soon. Not only was the meal absolutely delicious, but our waiter was attentive, and brought each course out at the appropriate time. He was also very knowledgeable about the one of a kind South American wines served.\r
\r
It certainly is nothing like a churrascaria, in that you don't gorge yourself on tons of meat and not much else. It's a refreshing experience with South American cuisine that will make your palate dance!
Pros: Patio w/view of the lake, Great service, Unique wine list
Cons: Wine dinner is only offered once a month
