  Came here after a failed attempt to eat at Cafe Uncorked.
  
  The prices for dinner entrees are mostly $20+, be advised.
  
  I saw on the menu something called the "36." It was a hamburger, minus the bread. In place of the bread is two small tenderloin steaks, the ground beef is in between the steaks and stuffed in Gorgonzola, on the outside its slathered in tillamook cheddar. On top is two huge candied bacon's, On the bacon is a quail egg. Followed by a truffle mushroom stuffed with (??), and on top of that, grilled escargot. I think there were some shoe string fries and a salad / soup option as well. This entree is not f*cking around.
  
  I ordered that beast. I finished it. All of it. Even the mushroom (I hate mushrooms), and the stupid snail (tasted better then the mushroom). Apparently I was the 3rd person to consume this feast in it's entirety.
  
  Would I order it again? My heart says NO. My stomach says yes. It remains to be seen what organ is more important at this point.
  
  The Dr. Wife ordered some sort of seafood medley. Apparently she liked it, but not as much as my 36 since she kept trying to pick at it while I wasn't looking.
  
  They have a solid selection of micro brews on tap. Dr. Wife ordered some fufu cocktail, then a sirache margarita. Yeah, it kicked. Extra points go to the bartender, she set the drink down for my wife, then returned one minute later and took it away. She tasted the excess and there wasn't enough agave added. She fixed that oversight and quickly returned. It was a SPICY and strong margarita. I was impressed.
  
  I will be returning here.

  The boyfriend and I came here for dinner one bitterly cold night on a recommendation.  Service was prompt and frequent.  I believe we had at least two servers and a manager visit our table to check up on us every ten minutes or so.  When I mentioned that I was a vegetarian in reference to the lack of options on the menu, the server immediately offered that the chef could throw together a pasta primavera for me.  I figured this was a nice compromise and we ordered the cranberry cider, which was awesome.  
  
  The boyfriend ordered scallops in pasta, and the sauce on both our dishes was heavily floured and bland.  There was also edamame on both our plates, which seemed like an odd choice as their texture didn't really go with anything and felt like an arbitrary addition.  Overall, my primavera left me unsatisfied, and the price did not reflect the quality of my partner's scallops.  We enjoyed the friendly service, although a lighter touch would have been nice.

  Friday clam chowda is outstanding! We've been here at least 7 times now over the past 5 months and the food and service remain top notch. This is a little gem of a place!

  I really like this place. I cant believe it would get a low review.  My husband and I ate here and really enjoyed our dinner. The hostess/owner is super friendly and want to make your dining experience great. I really recommend going on a weekend when they have some really good special menu items. If I lived closer, I would be a regular.

  Lunch:
  Pesto Shrimp Fusilli - menu said dish was served with black tiger shrimp, instead received a dish with small salad shrimp
  
  Bistro Fries - nice portion, beautifully plated, fresh, hot, flavorful
  
  Steamer Clams - tasty but should come with bread to enjoy the juice
  
  House Red - my dining companion was happy with this selection to accompany meal

  Have been here twice now and the food is excellent.  First time split the scallops and the blackened salmon, both awesome.  Second time had the special new york strip with Gorgonzola which was delicious and done a perfect medium rare.  
  
  Must try the triple chocolate truffle cake, you won't regret it!!
