Monday, January 19. 2 adults.
Arrived for our 6:30 PS early, and had no problem getting seated. Our table was in the main dining room, against one of the pillars, so we didn't have chairs per se, we sat on a L shaped bench seat (if you go, you'll see what I mean right away). The design of this restaurant is fabulous. Interesting decor, in an under the sea theme. The bar and grill areas were interesting.
Our server Tamika was very knowledgable of the menu, considering the restaurant had just opened (unoffically) the week of Christmas. We started with drinks and an appetizer. We shared the lobster chive dumplings. Six pan fried dumplings, medium size. Very good. The green lentil puree that comes with this had more flavor than the red curry spill.
Bread is brought to the table for the meal, in a bread basket (it looks like a little square basket). Five different bread, served with butter. (I could identify the baquette (sp), ciabatta, and flat bread. The other 2 I don't know for sure.) We like 4 of them, but found the french bread to have a very tough crust.
For dinner, Tara had the Bone-In Filet of Beef, which was so tender you could cut it with a fork. No kidding. (It was superior to any beef we have had at either Shula's or the California Grill).
The Roquefort cheese added a nice flavor, but the beef itself was the best ever. This dinner came with bacon wrapped asparagus, which was also very good.
I had the Crisp Filo Baked Salmon. Flaky crust, salmon cooked perfectly, and without alot of extra flavors to detract from the salmon. The tomato fondue that comes with this almost threw me off, but it turned out to be more like a dollop of a tomato sorbet. We split the lobster broccoli stuffed cheddar potato, also excellent, but probably not worth the cost ($7).
For dessert, we split the caramel pecan espresso cake, which was outstanding (but not quite as good as Shula's chocolate souffle). Also, the dessert, and all of the food, was beautifully presented on plates of varying shapes.
Total bill was just over $110, before tip, making this a once a trip event, at best. But the food quality and service do fit the price.
I anticipate needing PS here within 1 year, as it is set to take off.
The wait for the opening was worth it. We'll definitely be back.
