| The warm and inviting atmosphere derives from nicely lit, rich dark woods, with well-spaced tables and a frankly romantic feeling. We’ve liked the Prince Edward Island mussels steamed in white wine and garlic, classic and correct. But we’d skip the overwrought and slightly too-chewy calamari, with a cloying Asian plum sauce. While this is known mostly as a steakhouse, there are plenty of options embracing fish and chicken and even meatloaf. Sauces for grilled meats are extra, as are the sides. Be sure to ask the price of specials, which have included a half crispy roast duck with sweet potato latkes and spinach---tasty, but its $26 price tag placed it at the upper end of the restaurant's entrée prices. This wine list has a lot of choices, but they're not as interesting as they ought to be, given the quality of the food. Indulge in the decaf espresso here; it's barely distinguishable from the regular version. The good value early dinner menu, for no more than four persons per table, includes a salad and main dish for small dollars Sunday-Thursday from 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. |
