I was just there this past Saturday night on a first date. She suggested Uncle Sal's and I had never heard of it before and was game for a great Italian restaurant. Being new to the area, I look forward to getting to know as many places as possible. Although the restaurant is in a strip mall, Uncle Sal's sits back off the road a little which is good because you don't get a lot of car noise if you're sitting on the patio. There are fountains outside with dim lights for a very casual dining experience. When my date arrived, we walked in and were greeted by a very nice hostess. I told her we had reservations for the patio and I asked her if smoking was allowed there and she said yes. So we opted for the bar which was open seating. The bar area is filled with tables along the wall and a horse shoe bar. We were greeted immediately by Johnny, a NY yankee fan whose service was impeccable. He was fast, courteous, and had a lot of personality. The menu was filled with every type of Italian dish you could hope for. Although I was looking for some pasta, I tried the filet mignon with gorganzola sauce. Johnnie brought out lightly toasted garlic bread with either olive oil or butter on it. I don't remember but it was gooooood. The salads came fast and were very good. My date ordered pasta with sausage and peppers and there was enough food to feed two people. My dinner came out and I was surprised with the portion as well. It was almost the length of a NY Strip, but thick like a filet. And folks....it was one of the best filets I've had in a long time. I usually order my meat medium and this melted in my mouth it was so tender. I also had it on a bed of bowtie pasta. The only thing that I would have liked differently, was that there was too much sauce and it was poured on my steak. It took a little away from the flavor of steak but it was to die for. It was that good! Great service, great food, nice ambiance for a small place. I'll be back soon to try their pizzas and pasta dishes!
