We have been here many times, usually on Mondays when they offer 1/2 price bottles of wine.
Tonight we were very happy to see some new items on the menu; however, I feel they are a little expensive. Not to say that the food isn't good, because it really is, but in this economy when everyone else is lowering prices or running specials, their prices seem high.
We started with the appetizer special, which were two lobster crepes covered in a cream sauce. The price was $13, but crepes were pretty big. In fact, it could be an entree. I would like to see it permanently on the menu.
I skipped the soup/salad, but my husband had the soup, which was a tomato soup with pastrami. He thought it was just okay.
For my entree I had the Shrimp, which was prosciutto and sage wrapped shrimp on mushroom ravioli, with balsamic beurre noisette for $24. We were told that this used to be on the menu (I had never seen it before) and the chef brought it back. It was very good. The ravioli was al dente, which I am just coming to appreciate. I really could not taste the mushrooms inside, though. The sauce was also excellent. I was not familar with the term noisette, but have looked it up. I think there are a couple meanings, but I'm going to assume the definition of hazelnut is correct. I did not notice a hazelnut flavor though. I am not a big prosciutto fan, so after eating a few shrimps it became too much, so I started removing it. It was just a good without it. I would definitely order this again.
My husband had the Drunken Ribeye, which is marinated in beer and brown sugar, grilled, with caramelized onions, on a beer mustard sauce and served with Rofumo mashed potatoes, also for $24. The meat was very chewy. This is unusual, because I have ordered this before and it was never chewy. Very disappointing.
Nevertheless, we have had many good meals here and will definitely come back.
