Best place food wise we've eaten down there.
The Garlic Shrimp is definitely a meal plan type appetizer. It's very small and suitable only for one. At $10.25 it's steep if you're paying out of pocket. But it is extremely good and if you're on the plan, the entrees are big enough that you'll roll out of there anyway. If you're paying out of pocket and want to just get one appetizer for everyone try the Mediterranean Dips. They had a couple different types of Hummus and Olives that you could crush up and put on the flatbread. Yum Yum. For some reason, my son ended up with the adult 4 cheese flatbread Pizza as his appetizer. They've since put Pepperoni and plain cheese on the kid's appetizer menu. Good move. The 4 cheese was definitely an adult appetizer. Kid hated it. We loved it.
On to the Entrees.
My New York Strip was done exactly as I ordered it (medium rare)
The allowed the shrimp and scallop add ons on the meal plan. Wooohooo!!! The Scallops were perfectly done. Yummy. These didn't get passed around (we eat family style for the most part.) The shrimp got passed around. HEHE.
My son's steak was done exactly as ordered (Medium.)
Both were delicious. Had I been paying, I could have eaten the kid's steak and been perfectly happy with it. I'm glad they didn't give him a second class version like so many places do.
The Rigitoni was excellent. They also allowed add ons with this one. But the party ordering it is allergic to scallops so those didn't get added. The add ons here were integrated into the dish rather than on skewers like they were with my steak. They allowed em onto the meal plan.
But the dish that outshined em all was the Portuguese seafood stew. Yummy Yummy Yummy. Vaious fish and shellfish in a thin broth that was oh so delicious. If you hate spice, do not get it. You won't like this dish. This has some kick. Not too much but some.
On to the deserts.
Kiddo got the make your own sundae. It comes out on a big artist palate. He had a ball with it.
I got a chocolate, orange, pistacio cake. Yummy.
I'm not a big fan of creme brulee. This was done correctly. And i'm still not a big fan of it. The party that ordered it thought it was wonderful.
We had some sangria before dinner and the DW got a Blue Spoodle. Both were Yummy.
On to value.
If you are on the meal plan this is a great value even when they stop allowing the add ons.
If you are not on the meal plan and paying out of your pocket, it still can be a great value, BUT BE VERY CAREFUL. It's a place you can get out very reasonably or if you're not careful run up a California Grill type tab.
