text: Just had dinner here while staying at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge for a conference nnShort take overall it was a pleasant and good experience I would come back if I lived in the area and if I did not mind spending a few bucks nnDetails The hostesses and wait staff were great seated me promptly and were able to engage in some nice small talk to get me comfortable The dining area was pleasant It has some massive stone columns that break the room into somewhat smaller seating areas making for a cozier dining experience and also helps to shield from noise The seats were comfortable and the table plenty big for a party of twounlike some other restaurants that really try to cram you into as small of a footprint as possible So far so goodnnNow onto the important stuff the food and pricing The food I got was excellent The portions however are small Luckily for me they surprised me with a bread board and a couple of other things unexpected dungeness crab salad minibite and endofmeal white chocolate truffle The bread was not the usual bread and olive oil dipping sauce that I am accustomed to getting at lesser restaurants but a board with three types of warm artisan bread a cranberry a plain sourdough and a nice green olive encrusted bread Six slices in total I ate all of them It would have been a little dry normally but count them different spreads and dips made them very edible They had an olive oil dip a buttery spread a tangy blended mayonnaise dip and some cooked and oiled cored olive topping dish It was a delight to mix and match the types of bread with the types of options nnI started with a caesar salad This was pretty good but you cannot really go too far with a caesar I have had plenty worse so I am sure you get the picture I was disappointed by the size though it was a small soup bowl size for At least there were two fresh anchovies in therennFor the main entree I ordered their veal ravioli This was delicious The skin was just right the meat was tender The sauce was a creamy delight and there was also a secondary plating of a deep green colored sauce that neither added nor subtracted from the taste or texture of the dish What was a little weird was the prosciutto they haphazardly tossed on top of it all No complaints though I chopped that up and it added a little extra kick In total there were only about eight square sized ravioli plumply stuffed but a couple more would have been nice nnOne person no wine no dessert no coffeejust iced tea a salad and ravioli and I was up to I would not have been full without the bread If the price was a little lower say I would have given them an extra star
