Q: It's a tradition that for my birthday, my husband takes me to a restaurant that's a surprise, and somewhere we've never been before. When he revealed that was taking me to Craftsteak, he prefaced it with a lengthy justification, mainly centered on the fact that, yes, Craftsteak is a steakhouse, but they have an impressive assortment of vegetable options. I was not disappointed. The menu changes daily, apparently, and does have lots of veggie options (though most of them are garnished with some manner of pork products, so if you're strictly vegetarian, this is not your place). When we sat down, we were brought a cast-iron pan of the most delicious dinner rolls--fluffy, light, and yeasty, but impossibly buttery, with a sprinkle of salt on top. I felt a little ridiculous putting butter on mine, but I did it anyway. yeasty, buttery rolls with a sprinkle of salt on top We ordered the Billionaire Cocktail (Booker's Bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, dash of grenadine, star anise) and the Cucumber Gin Martini (Hendricks Gin, cucumber, fresh lime sour). Both were delicious...sweeter than I normally go for, but not unbalanced. They bring the martini glass with the garnish to the table, and then an individual shaker with the cocktail separately. The shakers has roughly 1.3 martinis. The Bibb salad was a generous portion, beautiful, smoky, crisp, with pickled onion, chives, blue cheese, and lardons. It was perfet to share. We were thiknking of skipping entrees altogether and just loading up on all the tempting sides, but my husband insisted it was too ridiculous, so we got the European Sea Bass (beurre blanc, chives, a pile of sauteed Napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and a piece of crispy pancetta on top). The fish was well cooked and flaky, and the sauce complemented it without overpowering. I was particularly excited about the mushrooms--you can order several different varieties, or get the Mushroom Assortment. We were planning to get the assortment, but there were too many other things we wanted to try. I'm glad we didn't...the Hen of the Woods was tasy, but not impressive. (NB, If you want amazing mushrooms, go to a Thomas Keller restaurant.) Since it was my birthday, I ordered a few things that I normally would have compromised on, but it turned out that my husband enjoyed them--kale and Maui onions. The kale was cooked to the brink of death, and studded with cannelini beans and lardons. It was more of a Southern greens preparation, and it was delicious...smoky and bacon-y. The Maui onions were cut in half and roasted, with Minus 8 Vinegar (made from ice wine). They were perfectly tender and sweet. Delicious The butternut risotto was good but I expected it to be more flavorful, especially with the scallions and proscuitto. The service was really good all night until the very end, when we had to wait a little while to get our bill. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable meal, even sans steak.

Q: As a realtor I needed something to put me ahead off the pack. My ad has brought me much success. Everyone tells me they see me on TV. I feel like a local celebrity. Great product for branding and marketing. Nothing else I have tried has worked this well. Great price for the service. My rep is exceptional. She knew exactly what I needed and made it happen. Thanks Janet. I highly recommend her and Active Digital to help you with your business.

Q: I find WCG to noisy for my taste and we tend to avoid it because the wait can be prohibitive -- when we try to make reservations (for six), it is a chore. We went tonight because it was my daughter's birthday choice but she was disappointed that they don't do anything to acknowledge birthdays.. even if you're a kid.
