I do wish the kitchen was a bit more consistent. One of those fine crab cakes was pressed into a meaty-tasting grilled mushroom cap and served with a lightly dressed salad. It's a perfect surf and turf for those who shun red meat. Cornmeal-crusted catfish was moist and delicious, although unfortunately sided with those leaden horseradish potatoes and very chewy kale. A whole grilled trout never quite connected with its salad bed of watercress, artichokes, and asparagus, although both were delicious.
Desserts here lean toward all-out indulgences.
We especially liked the three-chocolate cake drizzled with chocolate sauce and studded with chocolate chips. This evening before we leave, I peek through the windows at the ongoing construction that will, within the next few months, expand the restaurant into the building next door and onto an outdoor dining deck. I pause to wonder what effect larger digs will have on a sometimes wobbly kitchen and distracted waitstaff. But I know it won't really matter. We'll like the place regardless.
