Our son took us there for our anniversary. I have to say that I was highly expectant of an excellent meal but sorry to say I was disappointed.

I have been to Dog Lane and the Vanilla Bean and have loved both restaurants. When I heard that these were the same owners I became very excited even though I had heard it was more expensive and upscale than the other two.

The inside of the restaurant was very nice. The service by our waitress, Sierra was excellent! She went to the kitchen a couple of times to ask questions in regards to food allergies which was very helpful.

The problem we found was the food and prices. The food was good but not excellent. When paying a high price for food, I expect excellence. My plate came out with very lukewarm veggies. The waitress apologized and took it back. After reheating, the veggies were a bit overcooked but the salmon was done correctly. It all tasted fine but tasted like something I'd cook at home. Unfortunately the sauce for the salmon didn't have much flavor, that really disappointed me. My son's and husband's meals were similar. All tasted good but not exceptional. I do have to say that they did enjoy the appetizer of homemade potato chips with onion dip.

Given the portion sizes (nothing being brought home), the prices being so high and the food not being what was expected, I honestly don't think we will be back unless we hear that things have had a drastic change.

Hopefully the owners will read the mixed reviews and make some changes because we certainly do need a good quality restaurant in the area. Let's hope it can be brought up to that exceptional level that I and others have been expecting.
