An interesting dining experience. Food was plated very nicely, while silverware is handed out wrapped in a papernapkin and napkin ring. The servers have black collared shirts but also sportshorts and basketball tennies. You are greeted on entry by a hostess and then promptly encouraged to seat yourselves. The place seems trapped somewhere between fine dining and bar & grill.
The service was very friendly and very quick, which would be expected when you are sitting 5 feet away from the host station.
The food was delicious, well prepared, and came out very quickly. My wife had chicken Alfredo, and I had the "Cajun" shrimp alfredo. I put Cajun in quotes because it slightly missed the mark. A small trace of red onion was the only hint at any part of the holy trinity touching this recipe, and a few thin sliced Andoulli suasages were their to help pay lipservice to "Cajun" cuisine. Some old bay seasoning or even just a touch of celery salt and a dash of crystal hotsauce could have gone a long way to spice up the dish, but as it was, it was a mildly seasoned creamy shrimp alfredo. This is probably nit-picky, but it was a $30 plate of pasta after all.
My biggest issue was honestly the price. $30 for pasta just seems exorbitant. What my wife and I received were very delicious, $15 plates of pasta from a $15 a plate level dining experience, and no clue where the extra $20 upcharge was coming from. I am not saying anything was bad, it just wasn't up to the standard it's priced at. The bones are there for this place to be a very nice upscale dining experience worth $30 a plate, but Im not sure it wants to be. It is, after...
Read moreWe were a group of four and dined last evening at the Sunset Grill. The food and ambience were satisfactory, nothing special. The server, a young man, was pleasant and attentive. The reason for the two star rating of service came near the end of the meal because of the action and attitude of the man in charge of the restaurant while we were there. I’m not sure if he is the owner. We paid for our meal and one person in our group was still finishing his meal. The man tried to take his plate and when my dinner companion said he was still finishing his meal, the man said rudely the restaurant was closed and no one else was there. We were seated at 7:15 and it was now 8:15. Yes, the restaurant closed at 8 pm and we were the last diners there, but we had not been at the table an unusually long time and it was clear he was finishing his food. It was not a pleasant conclusion to a dining experience. I...
Read moreThis was a decent little restaurant above a hotel lobby. It was very hot in there at my time of visit. Not sure why ceiling fans & windows weren't opened earlier, since even the "owner?" was even saying it was hot in there and finally opened the windows and turned on the fans.?
Host/server was a young kid, and he was polite & attentive. Prices seemed high, but expected for the area it seems. Food was decent, but for around $20/person, hoped for better. Portions for the meal I had, were very small. It was presented nicely, but again, small. For the chicken breast (1/2), the chicken breast was about the size of a hamburger patty from a mcds cheeseburger. It came with veggies & mashed potatoes, but again, small portions in my opinion. Potatoes looked like it was a childs portion, not the amount one would expect. Veggies were merely squash/zucchini pieces, so not the selection of veggies I was...
