Catablu Grille

Location - great, atmosphere -good, service -pretty good, menu items looked good, but in reality...wasn't that good.  

The bread and salad were very good.  I ordered the weekday lunch special which was an Asian-style taco dish and then i ordered a chicken bowl dish as well. I think the problem is that these dishes sounded good, but the dishes I had was submerged in sweet Asian sauces and that took away from the dish.  In fact, both dishes were not good at all.

Not in a rush to come back again.....

We found ourselves at this restaurant after plans fell through on another spot.  We walked in during lunch and were a little concerned that only two other tables were seated.  The atmosphere was very nice.  A large open dining room with a huge floor to ceiling fireplace burning.  One wall was covered with a wine rack and everything was tastefully decorated.  

The good:  Grainy, seedy bread with olive tapenade brought out to the table to start.

Buffalo burger: great flavor, good size, perfectly cooked and seasoned with a side of the most delicious crispy, small fries.  

They brought a member of a party a free slice of key lime pie with coconut macadamia crust for his birthday.  

The prices were reasonable as 7 of us ate for $100 with some people getting tea, coffee and desserts.  

The not so good:  Apple salad:  This salad was promising with apples, grapes, mixed greens, candied walnuts and blue cheese, but it came out so overly doused in salad dressing that I couldn't really distinguish any flavors.  

Apparently this place really thrives at dinner and hosts a lot of events and private parties in a separate dining room.  It did seem like the kind of place that you might want to come for a special dinner.  Maybe lunch just hasn't taken off yet.

Amazing restaurant! !! My coworkers and I are hooked! This is the place to go for any meal!!!!
