Hello Zink, sorry for forgetting about you for so long, that's embarrassing considering I live nearby! My first thought walking in here was, what wonderful ambiance and decor! The lighting is warm and inviting and the modern look translates well to the creative twists on traditional american cuisine offered here.\n\nThe service here is excellent, friendly and charming without being too intrusive. Water refills were right on the dot, every time my water glass was close to being empty it was refilled posthaste. That was quite a feat considering they weren't very large glasses and I go through water pretty fast. The soft pretzels that come out while you're waiting are delicious and the mustard dipping sauce was pretty good as well. I ordered the herb encrusted trout with a bean and rock shrimp succotash. It was sooo good! The presentation was whimsical with succotash served in a miniature iron skillet, I couldn't really detect too much flavor in my herb encrusted trout but the basil oil reduction that came with it proved very flavorful and aromatic. The succotash was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. It was flavorful and well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and the rock shrimp incorporated into it were succulent and added a nice dimension to the textures present in the succotash. Excellent!\n\nThis place definitely was much better than I expected. Now keep in mind that it won't be an eat here every night type place due to the prices, but on the next occasion I'm feeling like a nice night out I'll keep you in my mind Zink.
