We went with the idea of trying the tasting menu, but after watching the couple next to us receive huge plates with little dabs of food, (one of which was pork belly), we opted to order from the menu. I had calamari with bernaise sauce for my appetizer (entree) and my husband had a scallop dish. Mine was very good; he was not quite as happy. We both ordered loin of tuna for the main dish; it was very good. Dessert was creme brule with a glass of porto - excellent. Servings are smaller than usual but that seems to be usual with gourmet restaurants - we had eaten at Gibby's the night before and been overwhelmed with the amount of food. There is a choice of only 5 main dishes, so it could be a problem if you do not see something you like. Service, as expected, was excellent without being overbearing.
When it was time for the check to be presented, we were given an envelope. Inside was an anniversary card from our children - they had arranged to pick up the tab! I don't even remember telling them where we were going to be dining. A lovely surprise...
