Oh... my... gosh. YUM! I had heard positive things and have been saying for the better part of a…read moreyear now, that I wanted to get out there and give them a try. The food was superb and the service was top-notch! The only regret that I have tonight, is not going sooner.
I ordered the special, which consisted of soup or salad, an eight ounce filet mignon, three jumbo prawns, and a side of creamy cajun pasta. For starters, I went with the soup which was a green chicken chili I recall? One sip into it and I was wondering if I should have simply ordered a bowl of that, because it was THAT good. I'm usually weary of ordering steak, too, because I make a mean one at home. SO glad that I did! Was cooked perfect to medium rare and seasoned just right. So tender, that it nearly melted in my mouth. Did I mention that the pasta was homemade, too? DELICIOUS. I rarely order dessert, and was stuffed by the end, however they just so happened to have key lime (my favorite) cheesecake. Of course, I had to indulge. *inserts chef's kiss emoji*
The staff were just as amazing and I have to give them credit as well, because a restaurant is only as strong as it's team and they all shine here. Paul was our server and suuuuch a nice guy. A f*ckin' rockstar. I could feel the genuineness oozing from this man. So polite, well-spoken, and just the right amount of professionalism was held without coming across automated. The kids who helped run the food were very polite as well. What I loved most, outside of the meal, was the down-to-earth vibe and atmosphere. There was no crazy dress code that I noticed, in fact, it seemed like majority were dressed in their casual everyday wear, from head to toe. I think that's important because it gives them a chance to express themselves and their individuality, providing us a chance to be able and see them for who they are, and not just an "employee." They all appeared natural and confident, "at home" you could say. The relaxed setting was fantastic and they slang out one of the best meals I've ever had had, accompanied by the service that I just noted.
If I was absolutely forced to choose something about the experience that I felt could have been better, maybe add one or two more prawns to the plate? That being said, I walked out full (a good type of full, not feeling like garbage) and can say with 100% confidence that this is the best experience I've had in a restaurant in... well, I'm not even sure how long. Quite some time. Mind blown by the quality and literal love that I felt, and tasted, masterfully crafted into this utter soul-food.
10/10, so keep doing what you guys are doing! Proud to call this place my new spot.
P.S. Please excuse my garbage hand writing lol.
