Why, yes. I have...
Date night and thought we would give the place a whirl. It was a little late by the time we made it there but they do keep late hours (midnight) Friday and Saturday.
Quiet this evening with only one other table occupied. The
live music livened up the atmosphere.
After a round of before dinner cocktails we decided on the often lauded
Empanadas.
Cheese/onion and Chicken. They were nicely fresh and flaky. The
Chimichurri sauce was perfectly prepared with the requisite hit of garlic. Appeared to be made with parsley.
My Bride has always been a fan of a
Charcuterie board and it is nice to it finding a home on several area menus. The melted Brie tickled her fancy this evening.
My
Chicken with Cream Sauce over Rice tasted good but was not very photogenic and could of used a touch more sauce.
Along with the entrees we went with some Merlot.
To finish up we turned to dessert.
Fried Plantains topped with Honey and Whipped Cream filled the bill as something sweet sounded great.
It was a great evening and we will be back again.
Just a word to the wise... They have a strong disclaimer that they can only run your credit card once (for security) which means you must mention the tip to be added as they take the credit card.
Also the did not have much cash on hand to make change.
