It was my husband and I's first time being here, and our first date in a little while. My mom had…read moreactually gifted me a gift card & spontaneously we said let's go! We walk in, and are immediately hit with good smells. We both said "mmm". Then we were sat in the bar, and we were greeted by the heart of the evening, our server bartender, Jaedyn. She immediately had the sweetest aura & was so pleasant. We found out that she was new to the restaurant & we were so excited for her!
We both started with 2 drinks. I got the Marilyn, and my husband got the Passion Fruit Martini. They were absolutely delicious. His was exactly how he likes it, it's sweet, light, and not super strong on the alcohol taste lol. Mine was made with Japanese gin, which was a first for me, and blackberry. It was a really kicker start to the experience. S/o to Jaedyn.
Then we started with our own personal "appetizer", and decided to get a ceasar salad (I was ecstatic about the anchovies) and he got the tomato basil soup. When we got them, it was a "wow" moment. We started digging in and my husband said "I could have about 100 of these toast things", and by then, it was too late to even get a picture lol, so sorry that isn't pictured I took a few bites of his and he took a few bites of mine and we were happy campers to say the least. Thank you Chef.
Jaedyn suggested a couple more drinks, and my husband and I trusted. I got the Basil Gimlet, and he got the Lemon Drop Martini. I'm not kidding you all, the basil gimlet is probably the best drink I've ever had in my life. I'll think about this every day.
For dinner, we both felt like fries as a side was what we both were craving, and he decided on the Bistro Burger, and I decided on the Fish and Chips. The proof is in the pictures, it was stunnin'. Every bite...every single bite, down to the tomato consumé, was delicious. Thank you Chef.
Grace was the FOH manager, and stopped by our table & was SO gracious and friendly that it was just bursting with contagious joy. We told her we wanted to come back and see Jaedyn again, that this was the new date night spot, and that I'll be celebrating my birthday here. she even came back with our dessert, the Blueberry Pie Bar. Warm, and topped with a quality ice cream. Let's just say, the entire experience was superb. From the gentle spirits that surrounded us, to the emotion the food carried, this was the best experience we have literally ever had anywhere. That's why I'm taking the time to write this post in appreciation and eagerness to go again.
Support this place, celebrate, and take yourself out on a date. Board & You, thank you!
