"The bar downstairs had a vibrant atmosphere with karaoke night happening. Once we were inside, the Maitre D' invited us to wait at the bar, and the hostess asked if we could wait an additional ten minutes for a table with a view of the bay. We happily agreed, enjoying our delicious pineapple mai tais while we waited.
When we were finally seated, our original waiter was busy, so we were attended to by Bryan, who I suspect was the understudy. It's not often you see that in fine dining establishments anymore, and it was refreshing. Although he seemed to dart off a bit too often, I had no issues when I had questions.
We started with the crab crepe, which was fantastic. For my main dish, I ordered the lobster, while my girlfriend chose the rum-marinated pork with banana chutney. My first bite of her pork was a bit dry, but a deeper taste from the tenderloin was wonderfully moist. And that banana chutney—absolutely delightful.
The lobster I had was indulgent, but I actually preferred her dish. I paired my meal with a rosé wine that turned out to be Woodbridge 2013 White Zinfandel—one of the smoothest wines I've had in years. I could imagine Robert Mondavi doing cartwheels over this vintage! I would gladly pay $50 for that wine in a blind tasting. So, choosing that as your house wine pairing for seafood would be a brilliant move.
In summary, we enjoyed excellent service, outstanding food, and an incredible view."
