"This is a real find! Located in the sleepy little town of Bedford, the place doesn 't look like much, but the food is sublime. We ventured in on a Wednesday evening, when they have date night specials more on that later. We split the pot stickers as an appetizer, and these were fresh, delicious, with just a bit of char to make them extra flavorful. We followed this with cucumber soup, which was just out of this world. Served cold, it was refreshing, delicious and perfectly seasoned. Think gazpacho, with no tomatoes. As an entree, my wife had chicken Budapest. This is a chicken breast served with caramelized onions and Gouda cheese with a paprika sauce. She described its taste as 'nectar of the gods. ' I, with some hesitation, ordered halibut; after all, halibut is a fish that is extremely easy to dry out, and Bedford, being 200 miles from the coast, is not exactly known for its fresh seafood. I needn 't have worried. The fish was fantastic, served in a lemon and caper sauce over a bed of linguine. Perfectly moist and delicious, it was the best halibut I have ever eaten in a restaurant. For dessert, we shared a slice of chocolate mousse pie, which was also very good. I 'd highly recommend this place just for the food, but Wednesday and Thursday nights are ' date night '. That means you get an appetizer to share, two soups or salads, two entrees, and a dessert for $60. AND, to top it off, they even include a full size bottle of wine for that price. Now that 's a deal! Needless to say, we 'll be back. In fact, we made another reservation for two weeks hence, just after finishing dinner that evening."
