“One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must
regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention
to eating.”
Luciano
Pavarotti
We
have driven by this restaurant in Evans many times in the past and
never noticed it. It is set back off of Washington Road in a small
shopping area and wouldn’t be noticed unless you pull into their
parking lot or were really looking for it. Joe had heard advertisements for this place and said it sounded good. We decided that today was the day to give it a try. We pulled in the
parking lot and looked at the restaurant which is a beautiful
building adorned with white pillars and a seating area outside the
front door and a has a balcony right above it. The building had a
welcoming appearance so in we went.
When
we got inside there was only two other customers sitting up at the
bar and it was very quiet. We were a little early for lunch on a
Saturday afternoon and pulled up a seat at one of the high top tables
near the bar. The bartender called over to us that he would be right
there. He was busy setting up the bar. Then the waitress came into
work and was rushing around setting things up. She came over after
a little while and took our drink order. Joe was happy with the selection of beers they had on tap. She apologized for being
slow and blamed it on a busy night the night before. She was nice
enough but just not on her game.
We
got our drinks and checked out the menu. They had a good selection
of food to choose from. Their lunch menu had many nice looking
appetizers including blackened gator tail, fried ravioli, and bacon
dusted brussels sprouts, along with many other selections. They have a
great choice of sandwiches to choose from including Shrimp Po Boy,
French Dip, Meatball sub, and many other choices. And I was impressed
by their selection of salads and burgers. They also had some unique
drinks to order called Lava Cocktails that smoked and bubbled that
looked pretty interesting. I didn’t order one as it was too early for me to have a drink.
When
we walked into the restaurant we were impressed by how clean and nice
the restaurant looked. The interior of this building had some
amazing antiques and focal points to gaze upon. The ambiance and
color of the restaurant gave it a nice warm feel even with the high
ceilings. We loved the beautiful bar with the comfortable bar
stools. There was also a room attached to the bar that is a private
room that can be booked if you would like to have a more private get
together or meeting.
They
had lots of televisions of different sizes to watch and when we were
there they had on a couple different football games on to watch. One
of the regulars came back and asked us if we wanted to watch any
particular game as they would put it on for us. We thought that was
very sweet of him and told him thanks for asking but just keep
watching what he wanted.
When
our food came out, we were very pleased with how good the food was
and how it was presented. I ordered the black and bleu salad with
steak which was heavenly. It was a large portion and they added
bacon with it just adding a little special touch. Joe ordered the
Blacken Mahi which was seasoned just perfectly and a nice size
portion. The french fries were fresh and hot.
We
were very satisfied with our meal but I felt the service could have
been a little better. We enjoyed our stop here and still would come
back again as we though it was a lovely spot with great food.
