text: I ate here this past Thursday evening with my girlfriend for dinner We arrived at around without reservations and requested a table The hostess told us that she would look for a table which we found to be odd since their whole front dining room was empty and there was no one sitting in the bar area Only a single side dining room seemed to be full After a cursory look by the hostess we were led to a table in the bar area that overlooked the river even though it felt more like a dining table We were served by the bartender throughout the night though which did not prove to be any problem The inside of the resturant is pretty modern with wooden floors and white table cloth covered tables On the side of the restaurant that is close to the river are large windows which I imagine would give a good view of the river Sadly we were there on a moonless night and so we were not able to enjoy much of the view that we knew was there We did however think that the restaurant was a bit cold probably due to the large windows and my girlfriend was cold throughout the entire mealn nAfter our waitress greeted us and took our drink order she came back with a basket of bread as well as two different types of butters a sea salt butter as well as a cranberry butter Both were really good with the fruit shining through in the one and the salt in the other It was good enough that we quickly finished our bread basket and it was replaced with another before our appetizer even came out The appetizer that we decided to start out our evening with was the Calamari which came with wasabi aoili and a General Tsaos sauce There was ample calamari on the plate whenever it came out and it was placed onto a bed of the General Tsaos sauce while the aoili was drizzled on top which provided the dish some nice color I was a big fan of the dish as the calamari was cooked nicely and was not chewy at all It was also nice to be able to choose how much sauce I wanted on my calamari by dipping it onto the bottom of the plate For our dinner entrees I decided on the Gemelli which came with hot sausage banana peppers basil and some parmesan My girlfriend went with the paella which had some clams scallops mussels Chilean Sea Bass chorizo shrimp chicken and even some green beans in it The portion size on both of our meals was pretty large and I felt like mine could have been made from a whole box of pasta That did not deter from the flavor though and I loved the spiciness of both the sausage and banana peppers against my pasta After eating for quite a while I gave up and ended up taking the rest of my meal home which I almost never do My girlfriend also enjoyed her meal and told me that all of the fish was cooked nicely and that she throughly enjoyed itn nThe bottom line for me is that I would definitely head back here in the future Hopefully the next time that I come back will be during the day so that I can enjoy the views but I will surely be looking forward to the food and may even try some of their fish myself
