When we pulled up to the Strip Mall where the restaurant was located, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But the moment we walked in the door I was pleasantly surprised - the nice decor, a huge wood burning stove, the friendly staff, and needless to say it's a lot bigger inside then it looks from the outside. When we sat down our waitress was very polite and helpful in suggesting a wine to our tastes. Most of us had wine and the cocktails were served in pint glasses (this is my type of drinking...). What is unique about their wine selection is that if you don't find what your looking for on their menu you can go next door to the Wine Shop and pick out your wine and they'll cork it at the restaurant. Plus the wine prices are very reasonable starting at only $20 a bottle. We then decided to get the Spinach Artichoke Dip for an appetizer and it was fabulous - it tasted very fresh and the Parmesan Flatbread was excellent. We then proceeded to order dinner which we tried the Crab Cakes, Pepperoni Pizza, Margherita Pizza, Bacon White Cheddar Burger, Seafood Volcano, and the Skirt Steak. The pizzas were good but simple - basically what you'd expect. Crab Cakes came with three dipping sauces that were exquisite - each with their own unique flavor, it was definitely a winner. The Bacon Cheddar Burger was huge and I assume it was good since Luis kept it all to himself :-). The Skirt Steak was tender and juicy and the hunter sauce added the perfect touch to this excellent dish. And then there was the Seafood Volcano...shrimp, scallops, and crap in an absolute phenomenal cream sauce. I'll definitely be back for more of this. If you like seafood then there is no doubt this is the dish for you! We all ended up passing on the desert as we all were full and a few of us had to go boxes. The prices were very reasonable and we would definitely return.
