Jen and I really like this little place even though it's in a kitschy little strip mall. It provides a healthy and good Cherry Creek / Downtown quality meal right near our house. The only complaint we've ever had is that it's a little too brightly lit at dinner time.
Last night we wanted to grab a quick bite to eat near the house and this fit the bill perfectly. Jen was looking for a lighter entree with a good white wine and was not disappointed. She had Cod with a scallion risotto and a Gruner Veltliner. It turned out to be a really good pairing.
I opted to try a menu item that's always puzzled me - a Chicken Fried Lobster Steak. I could never imagine why someone would want to mess up a really good piece of lobster by chicken frying it. And those of you who know me, know that I love just about anything fried.
The waiter told me it was one of their most popular dishes though so I gave in to my curiousity. It was served in a tarragon cream sauce (think gravy) atop risotto and green beans. It was serious comfort food and was VERY GOOD. I have to admit though, I still would prefer the lobster straight up with butter and not chicken fried. And this was a serious piece of lobster - I was really impressed. I would definitely order this again.
The steak medallions with wild mushroom bread pudding (the other most popular dish) looked seriously amazing. I'm going to have to go back soon to try this dish.
