Well, well, well, it wasn't a fluke on soft opening night. Our second visit was outstanding. It is just getting harder and harder to pick out what to eat. So I decided to have the special for the evening knowing that it would probably not be around long and was I a happy camper...the Crawfish Salad with shaved onions, pickled okra, tomatoes, tossed with a dijon mustard dressing and topped with perfectly fried crawfish tails. And it was the most generous portion of tails one could wish for. We also had the Capellini Pomodoro which also was devine. Roasted tomoatoes, fresh basil, fresh roasted garlic, with a chili peper that seemed to only get better with a little time. At first I thought the dish was a little bland, but was wrong, the flavors just started getting better and better. And they cooked it to order with our special request of light on the garlic. The large thinly slices of cheese just made it all meld together. And as much as I don't want to write about, but will, is the Chef's Bar/Table. Oh how much fun. One doesn't have to order what the Chef wants to cook for you and have you sit down to 10 courses, ok, I have exagerated a little, but not much, only 4 or 6 courses at other Chef Bars/Tables. This is the best spot in the house and it makes one realized how much work it takes to run a place.
