    I went to Lattitudes on Saturday night and my experience left alot to be desired. When we walked in I told the hostess that I had a gluten allergy and she informed that that they do not have a dedicated menu, however they can substitute things here and there to accommodate me. I informed my server of my allergy when we ordered our appetizers and he assured me they were prepared gluten free.

    We ordered the brussels sprout appetizer and some shrimp cocktail. They were both really good until I found some fried onion rings mixed in with the brussels sprouts. People with Celiac disease cannot eat anything that has been prepared in a fryolator with other wheat containing foods. It was too late though I had already eaten a good portion of it.

    It took us about 25 minutes to flag the waiter down. When I voiced my concern to the waiter about cross contamination he was hardly apologetic. He blamed the kitchen for being "really backed up" and then told me that other people with gluten allergies eat food out of the fryolator all the time there.  He then told me he was going to bring some fresh ones out that were pan fried, then never did.

    So we ordered entree's and I ordered the cider brined french pork chop. It was pretty dry and very burnt on the top. My sister had the pork also but hers was cooked very differently and delicious.  I would have liked to try something else that night, but they were out of the salmon, swordfish, osso bucco, and some other red meat. My family was upset I was exposed to gluten and that my meal was burnt so I decided to talk privately to a manager.

    I kindly asked the hostess who sat us if I could speak with a manager. She said "Sure I can get you a manager, what is this about?" I told her about my food concerns and then she said "Well actually I am a manager". This just seemed strange and unprofessional. Was she only a manager based on what type of problem I had? Also she asked me if I had gotten sick- which is completely BESIDES the point and really uncomfortable.  

    It was pretty awkward the rest of the night. The waiter even kidded at one point "I'm batting 1000 tonight" cause he knew he kept messing up our orders. That being said, I think how they resolved my issue was good. They took the appetizer off our bill and gave me a free dessert. This is why I gave them 2 stars.

    Had an awesome lunch.  The atmosphere was very nice and our waiter could not be beat!  Our group included grandma, grandpa, parents, & grandchild and all were pleased with the setting & food.  The brussel sprout appetizer is classic.  Would highly recommend this resturant to anyone!

    I was immensely pleased to find this restaurant as part of a hotel points dining program.
    The atmosphere was surpassed only by the food.
    I happened to sit next to a former waitress who was visited by the chef.
    I made my selections based on what he recommended for her party.
    I enjoyed every bit from the salad to the dessert and espresso.
    I can't wait to return on my next business trip.

    Amazing! Have to try the fried brussels sprouts and the chopped salad. - for starters then dinner go with the lamb or ahi tuna for dinner. And for dessert I was always so full and a dog bag to go, so I have never tried there dessert unfortunately.  Next time I am going to save room! :).

    After reading the reviews we had to check this place out.

    Everyone was right on the mark with the fried brussels sprouts awesome. I also had the tomato and mozzarella salad. My only complaint was they needed more mozzarella.
    I had the lobster mac and cheese which wasn't your traditional mac and cheese but was amazing. We also had the fried chicken, it was good but that is a dish I prefer more traditional with the flour crust. This one had a cornmeal crust. It was very good just not my cup of tea:)
    I also have to comment on the Pablo gin and juice, i am more of a wine and beer drinker but this drink was so refreshing and delish:)

    Four of us went to Lattitde last night and the great reviews are spot on. The food was VERY good.  I had the Brussel sprouts, vegie risotto and pumpkin ravioli (yum!!), my husband had the shrimp and corn chowder and a shrimp/steak combo.   The location is kind of odd, across from the Big E, but the food makes going there worth the trip!

    I went there for dinner with a large party the other night. They were full to the brim when we arrived (as other reviewers have said) but they put us in a private room, and the staff were attentive and friendly.

    First off, the appetizers were wonderful. The fried brussel spouts and cheese platters were amazing and the side of bacon mac n cheese was particularly noteworthy. The cocktails (I had a pineapple upside down cake) were super tasty.

    Unfortunately, the main course is where they failed me. Now, I have never met a lamb I didn't like, and it's actually one of my favourite dishes! But even though I ordered it medium, it came out well-done. It was particularly gamey and not at all tender. In fact, the edges were tough!! Who cooks lamb to that point?! *sigh* The endive salad was flavourless with a hint of sourness that made it inedible, and the pita was NOT pita...it was more like matzah. I dislike matzah, but wet matzah (which this was, as it had been sitting under everything, even the veg) actually can make me lose my appetite completely. I could only eat about half the lamb before I pushed away my plate. I also had a side of spinach, which I usually can't get enough of! I don't know if the spinach wasn't washed properly or if it was old...it looked all right but left an unpleasant powdery taste in my mouth (I think from an excess of oxalic acid?). Anyway, everything after the appetizers for me was wholly unpleasant and disappointing.

    Now, to be fair, the server did ask if everything was ok...so I should have sent it back or said something and given them a chance, but I didn't want to seem picky in front of others. If I had paid for the dinner, and not the company, I would have been pretty upset.

    To Lattitude's credit, everyone else was pretty satisfied and my boyfriend, who had some sort of beef tenderloin on top of mash, totally cleared his plate. A lot of people in the party ordered a seafood hotpot and they were definitely satisfied. I guess the scallops must have been good too, as they were out for the night.

    Unfortunately my own main course was less than spectacular and I guess that's why I gave it a middling rating.

    I recently went here for my birthday. We had a party of 15. The reservations were spot on and they werer excellent about accomodating my changes in the number of guests! The service was excellent and the food was amazing! We had multiple different appetizers and specialty drinks! I has the ahi tuna and it was to die for. The fried brussel sprouts were also delicious. Our servers name was Brooke and she was great. It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to restaurants, but Lattitude definitely gets my approval!

    I went here for lunch with my friend and our moms. The food was DELICIOUS especially the fried brussel sprouts...mmm. However both my friend and I were very sick later that evening. I hadn't eaten anything that would or could have made me sick (like under cooked chicken or fish) and I was so surprised since the food was awesome. I suspect bad hygiene in the kitchen so unfortunately I will not be returning.

    I have been hearing people raving about Latitudes for a while.  Last Thursday I decided to take my family.  We arrived at 430 without a reservation, upon arrival the hostess sneered at us and insisted we be done by 7 bacause there was a reservation for the same table at that time.  Considering the fact that there was only 3 of us and not one other customer in building I assured her that would not be a problem.  She sat us, and we sat for about 5 minutes as staff members buzzed around the building, but no one seemed to care we were there.  A simple glass of water (it was 98 degrees outside) and acknowledgement from anyone would have been nice.  Once our server did arrive (Pablo?) We ordered drinks and an appetizer.  The drinks came out and the server was gone.  My drink was not.right and after waiting 10 minutes for our server to come back, and one failed attempt to call out and flag down another server I walked up.to the bar to have my drink fixed (still no other customers).  The appetizer was delivered by one of the  chefs about 15-20 minutes later who explained that our server was too busy to deliver it himself.  I applaud the chef for taking the initiative.  The mussels were very good.  Our entrees were delivered about 20 minutes later by our server and once again he vanished.  My son was not happy with his meal, but our server tion another 15 minutes to check on us and by that time my son was disinterested in the dish altogether.  Had our server returned in a reasonable time I would have ordered something else and paid for the extra meal, but when dining with youth time spent in restaurants becomes limited.  My son ordered scallops which were good, but he just didn't care for them.  I ordered salmon which was amazing!  My boyfriend ordered the flank steak, the only thing on the dish that was worth anything were the French fries.   The place isn't a bad place, but when the average price of a plate is $20+ I expect the service to be comparable.  I feel that the staff members at Latitudes saw a family of 3 walk in and immediately turned their noses up to us. We were not priority for this empty restaurant when we really should have been.  It was quite honestly not worth the $100 for my family of 3.  I would have said something to a manager or any staff member but they were all too busy constantly walking past our table to acknowledge of our subtle wakes, nods, and even "excuse mes" to bother with the family of 3.

    If you are on the horse show circuit and travel to the "Big E" a couple of times of year, you know Lattitude.  Went there for the third time last night before my evening competition.  Early Thursday night and the place as packed...not with the horse show crowd but with locals.  We didn't have a resie but after like 10 minutes of hmmming and hawing, they were able to seat our table of four in the main dining room.  I love the fried brussell sprouts appetizer but it doesn't love me so I skipped it last night.  I had a glass of the Charles & Charles blend (Cab and Merlot...very yummy) and the halibut special which was served with a miso dressing, almonds, tomatoes, rice and spinach. Delicious!  I tried some of the truffle fries of my dining companion...delicious, warm, full of flavor. One of my companions had ther encrusted ahi tuna which is her go to staple at Lattitude.  The other two both ordered the sirloin flatbread which looks like a pizza.  They were both happy with their choices. I was sort of hungry when I left so in hindsight, I should have ordered a small chop chop salad.  Our server (who's name I didn't keep...I never do) was excellent, very prompt and always there when we needed her. I placed second in my competition so I will be back to Lattitude tomorrow night before my championship class!

    I went here for dinner about a week ago without a reservation. Although it was packed and a few couples were turned away the host was nice enough to hook us up with a table. The fried artichoke app wasnt good it just tasted like fried batter and oil & due to a dirty cup, I lost a glass of wine out of the bottle we ordered.  

    Although they missed a couple of marks the overall service and main course - beef tenderloin & side of bacon mac'n cheese is enough for a 5 star rating. Not only would I highly recommend it but I'd crave it. I'm looking forward to going back the next time I'm in town.

    Yum. A new dish I've never tried. Fried artichokes over wilted spinach and manchego cheese. It was even better than it sounded. Always love the brussel sprouts too. Def a favorite. I had pan seared sea scallops over a bacon risotto, and brought NO left overs home. The staff is really nice too.
    Parking can be a pain because there really isn't any. They do have valet, but I like to park myself and leave when I'm ready.
    Make reservations for sure as it's a small place and fills always.

    The food here is amazing.  The chef is awesome and the wait staff is very personable. So why the 3 stars?  Because of a few problems I've had with seating and hostessing.  The people at the front of the restaurant have been confused about who's next and whether you have to put your name in for a table or seat at the bar.  At one point, after a long wait and being told we had to put our names in for the next available seat, another patron strolled in, took our seat, and was not asked to move.  

    The manager came over and apologized for the mix-up and offered to bring us a glass of wine while we waited for the "next" seat.  Nice. Right?  Well, it would've been if he hadn't then put the wine on our tab. Gee thanks.

    My advice is to go for lunch or when ti's not busy, because the wait and the confusion is just not worth the aggravation.

    Went for lunch, and boy was it delicious.  We ended up sitting in the bar, because there was some sort of function going on in the dining room.  It's quaint enough to enjoy a nice night out with a friend or two, and also set up very nicely if you want to come by with a group and indulge in a few pints.
    We started with the fried brussels sprouts.  Holy amazing. And everyone knows it too, because I swear, every group had one.  They are crispy, and oily enough to feel bad, but not disgustingly greasy or heavy.  The aioli they're served with is magically sweet, and rich enough to make you want more, and more, and more....
    For my entree, I had the (POINT JUDITH!!) calamari.  Most places can never understand calamari, and it comes out rubbery and disgusting.  This calamari was cooked perfectly.  They pan flash it for a few minutes, and serve it "asian" style.  It's tangy and the edamame gives it a really nice, crisp edge.  My husband had the fish sandwich, which unfortunately, arrived 15 minutes after my entree.  However, they apologized, bought us a beer, and it was quickly forgotten.  Especially once we tasted the sandwich.  The whitefish did not have any of that icky grey matter that results from over frying.  It was delicately battered (almost like a tempura) and cooked perfectly.  SOOO GOOD!!  I also love that they source locally - extra points for that.

    I can't wait to come back for dinner, or even another lunch!

    I am always happy to find a 'very good' restaurant in the Greater Springfield area. While this restaurant is not in a hip, energetic neighborhood, it is easy to get to with easy parking. The interior design of the restaurant is mediocre but clean and welcoming. The restaurant was packed, which is a a great sign especially on a weekday. The service and food were both above average. My salad (hand clipped organic green) and the desert (chocolate chip brownie sundae) were both excellent and my entree (shrimp, lobster hot pot) was very good. The only thing I would have liked to have seen on the menu is at least one or two healthy (low carb, high fiber, light sauce simple non-fish dishes). I would highly recommend this place and I look foreword to going back there!

    Finally took my wife to this place. The parking situation is decent: there is a valet service and there are some parking spots on the street. The bar area is the first area you enter and its beautifully laid out and pretty open. The bar selection looked really good. We sat in the dining room, which was a little crowded but I never felt too squished in. Our food came relatively fast and fresh. I had pan seared barbecue pork with mashed potatoes mixed with Gorgonzola and cranberries. Oh my goodness, it was good. The wait staff is very friendly and very accommodating; allowing any party to sit wherever they want if they just ask. The bar area definitely seemed a good area to socialize which I will have to take a note of at another time. Cannot wait to go again.

    We are frequent patrons. Have been over a few dozen times and have had minor disappointments here and there but always come out happy.
    Lunch is a well kept secret as prices are very reasonable. Also lunch menu is extensive. Service is always good and usually exceptional. Kudos to the owner for not dumbing anything down for a blue collar town like West Spfld. Northampton, Springfield even Hartford would be lucky to have a restaurant like Lattitude in the mix.

    This is the best restaurant in Western Mass!

    Table:  We were celebrating our 15th anniversary, so we made an early reservation--we knew this was a small facility and we wanted a little more privacy.  The staff went  our of their way not to seat anyone around us, so we could enjoy our dinner.   Definitely eat early to avoid the noise levels others complain about.  It was nice and quiet at 5 p.m.

    Martinis:  I had the S'more martini and my husband had the Whip-it Good Spring-tini.  They were both delicious.  Mine had a marshmallow floating in it and graham cracker rim.  YUMMY!

    Appetizer:  We had the signature fried brussels sprouts and they were absolutely delicious.  The bread was equally delicious with a hint of herbs.

    Main dish:  I had the fried chicken with the most delicious mashed potatoes I have ever eaten.  I never eat the skin, but I had a small taste and loved it as it wasn't greasy at all and had a nice flavor.  My husband had the ribs with bacon mac & cheese and french fries (he didn't care to have the cole slaw and tater tots that came with the meal).  The ribs were cooked perfectly with a peppery dry rub and a side of BBQ sauce, which was delicious.  We wouldn't recommend the french fries, but the mac and cheese was heavenly.

    Dessert:  We had the Samoas creme brulee.  The top was overdone, but the custard was delicious with the cookie inside.  

    Service:  We have never had better service in Western Mass.  Our waiter was very attentive and helpful.  He made the experience even more enjoyable. The manager came by the table during the main course and dessert to see how everything tasted.  He noticed that the creme brulee was overdone and immediately removed the item from our bill and offered us another.  

    We will definitely be visiting this restaurant on special occasions.

    Solid, inspired, and thouraly original new american fare.  Stoped here for lunch while in route from Vermont to NYC.  We had the bacon wraped salmon over mushrooms and risoto & the bufalo chicken mac'n cheese.  The decor was current with an urban feel.  Best pit stop ever!

    For NYC boy on vacation, I didn't have high hopes for this country bumpkin place. The burger was amazing. High quality meat and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is likely impressive to locals.

    Holy BRUSSEL SPROUTS BATMAN!  Stop the presses! Yes, I said brussel spouts - deep fried in soy oil...  We stopped in on our way to Troy, looking for some quick eats with personality... We only had appetizers, and let me tell you, this chef owned and operated restaurant is a GEM.  It will be a stomping ground on our way to Troy anytime! We envied the lunch crowd as we watched amazing entrees pass us by, and then could hear the "oooohhhsss and aaaaahhhssss".  Fried brussel sprout - I'm telling you, you will become a believer!  Washed down with a purple grape martini (ooooohhhh, aaaaahhhh), a side of his sweet, sour and delectable calamari and some oysters... What a treat!  The only disappointing dish was his steak pizza - great crust, lotsa cheese, but a bit on the bland side.  I think a drizzle of chimichurri or pesto would take this bar favorite to the right level.  However, Lattitude is truly a great place to stop, clean, great decor and really fit for foodies eats in hearty portions!

    I really enjoyed the "experience" of Lattitude. The atmosphere was trendy and fashionable and the martini list was absolutely delicious!  We ordered the grilled brussel sprouts based on many other reviews, they were tasty and buttery.  For the entree I ordered the grilled beef tenderloin that was served with a parsnip puree and asparagus.  I really enjoyed it here because it reminds me of the trendy Boston restaurants that I used to frequent with my girlfriends.  It's something unique to the area, and although pricey, is definitely a treat for special occasions.

    After waiting 20 minutes later than the reservation time I made TWO weeks in advance, we were finally stuck at a bar table, pretty much dining with the strangers sitting 8 inches away (since the people at the table I reserved in the dining room were "still enjoying their dessert"). Being that this was my belated Valentine's dinner for my mans, I was a little pissy pants about it... but this is a romantic dinner, so keep the positive attitude, right?

    Our server, David, was a very personable guy. He had a good attitude, answered some wine questions... all around no issues with him.

    We started out with drinks and two delicious apps. Calamari in a sweet chili(ish) sauce with pineapple and edamame, and the famous fried brussel sprouts. FOODGASM. So, as we're finishing up our apps (about an hour after we were seated at not-the-right-table) David comes over and repeats our food order; "you're gonna hate me, but i forgot to put the order in. I will definitely get it rushed, and your wine (we ordered wine after the initial drinks to compliment our steaks) is on me."

    Okay. Fine. He's really nice, I'm a server, we all make honest mistakes sometimes. Plus I'm full from the apps already, so some digestion time is cool.

    Then the food finally comes, probably about 20-25 minutes later. Looks delicious. I ordered the Filet Tournedos & Shrimp, which comes with sweet onion mashed pots, and garlicky spinach. The flavors were delicious. My boyfriend ordered the Beef tenderloin with asparagus and the same mashed potatoes.

    I cut into my meat and take a bite. It's pretty good. I think to myself "this is good, but definitely not the best filet I've had... wait a minute... i've never seen filet come in two separate flat pieces." Sure enough, i look across the table at boyfriend's plate. What's there? My frickin filet G-D it!

    FINE. I'm a push over. You screwed up my reservation. You forgot my food order. Then you brought the wrong food. Icing on the cake?

    The manager waited until we had our coats on and were walking out the door, and the literally came over and MUMBLED, "hey thanks for being patient about the food and stuff."

    Honesty, I would have been less insulted if he just hadn't come over at all.

    I LOOOOOOOOVED this restaurant the first time I went and had such a GREAT experience, but after this experience, and the experience my parents had last month at Lattitude, I will definitely think two or three or fifteen times before I recommend this place again.

    REALLY DISAPPOINTED!

    I've only been fortunate enough to experience lunch here, and let me tell you it was so good, that even though I live in Boston, I talk about this place a lot. I had some work to do in the Agawam area, and one lucky day someone suggested Lattitude for lunch.

    I had the most AMAZING burger here. It was cooked perfectly, juicy, and the fries that came with it were great. Also the price was right for this place! My colleague had the chicken lettuce wraps and they were so good, he didn't share. :) I took his word for it though since they looked and smelled very good, but I was so busy with my giant awesome burger that I didn't pay too much mind.

    The service was very friendly and attentive, and the interior of this place was nice enough.

    I took the opportunity to see what their dinner menu looked like as well, and thought it had some delicious sounding entrees. If I'm ever out in the Springfield area again around dinner time, I know where to go, and now you do too.

    The buffalo chicken mac n cheese is amazing! The cheese sauce is light but flavorful and the buffalo chicken adds just the right amount of heat. I also had a great appetizer with french bread, aged balsamic vinegar, and garlic roasted and brought out to the table still in the skin.

    Can get a little pricey for dinner, but the lunch portions are huge and much cheaper!

    Went here with the entire family once and it was by far one of the best places in the area we've all gotten together at for dinner. We utilized the "wine room" there which was great! Love the decor of this place. (I did not for a second feel like I was across the street from the Big E.) Love the fact they buy from local farms. My one gripe was the lack of veggie options. Chef Jeffrey Daigneau did whip us up a great penne pasta dish though. Overall the experience was great and can't wait to go back!

    I had a wonderful dinner here last week.  I found Lattitude on Yelp and I am so glad I did... this review will be updated later this week when I go back.

    My first visit...

    I was blown away with their customer service.  Immediately when I walked in I was greeted.  I sat at the bar and just about every server that walked past said hello and asked if I was doing OK... I also saw them do this with other patrons so I know they weren't flirting with me.

    When I first arrived and looked around the restaurant is very modern and clean.  The crowd was a little older but as the night progressed it was varied with 30 somethings to older.  

    I wasn't very hungry so I kept my meal light.  I had their hand clipped organice greens salad and it was so delicious.  Although I am not a fan of lettuce, this was a good variety of greens.  It had warm goat cheese, apples, walnuts and a wine vinagrette, probably my favorite one of the best salads I've ever had.

    As a second course I had the mushroom and artichoke risotto.  I was a little dissapointed that they took a little long after I finished my salad but they were definitely busy and the risotto was fresh so I can assume they had just made it.  The mushrooms were a wonderful compliment, however I was not crazy about the artichokes.  The taste was a bit too tart and it didn't quite dance on my toungue.  I think I would order it again minus the artichokes.

    For dessert I had the special cheesecake, with a lemon girl scout cookie crust.  It was good but not over the moon delicious.  

    Like I said before, their service was amazing and I am inclined to go back again this week but this time I will try something new.

    Great restaurant for a group, if you are going on a date or solo.

    We're from out of town and found this fantastic restaurant on Yelp to begin with so I had to come back and add our stellar review.

    The restaurant has a very comfortable atmosphere. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and quick to offer suggestions and or advice for newcomers. Our waitress pointed out that the menu changes with the season so you can find new dishes every few weeks.

    We had read about their "fried brussel sprouts" and were not disappointed in the least. I have never been a fan of this sprout but loved the taste of the sea salt and the texture the frying process adds to them. They were delicious both with the aioli dipping sauce or naked.

    I had the beef tournedos and shrimp dish - the meat was tender and cooked to perfection at medium-rare. The shrimp were firm and crisp and delicious as well. The plate comes with garlicky spinach and  sweet onion mashed potatoes as well. Each bite is worthy of being savored and I took my time getting through the dish.

    My husband had the scallops - they were just as delicious and done perfectly well that all 10 were the same temperature and consistency. The pasta in the dish were all cooked correctly and the sauce was fantastic with the dish as well as soaked up with the fresh baked bread they serve.

    We finished off our visit with dessert, of course. I had the peppermint creme brulee and my husband had a jumbo chocolate chip cookie. The mint flavor in the brulee was enjoyable and not overwhelming and made the dessert a nice finish to the meal. The cookie looked fantasic - my husband lacks a sweet tooth but still ordered something off the dessert menu because dinner had been so good.

    Neither my husband nor I are wine drinkers but the assortment of choices for wine, beer and martinis was impressive.

    I would highly recommend you visit this restaurant if you're in the Springfield area.

    Imagine meeting a woman with Anne Hathaway's physical makeup and the intellect of Eleanor Roosevelt.  (Now, this is not to say that Anne Hathaway is a dummy or that Eleanor Roosevelt was not a looker.) Rather, what I'm getting at is that if you combine these two things, you get quite a woman (me personally, I'd spend the next 20 minutes totally flabbergasted before attempting to impress her with my knowledge of macropolitical trends... "Hey, you want to hear about dynamic representation?"  Works every time :) ).

    But in terms of food, my best-of-both-worlds metaphor applies to Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese.  Lattitude nails this perfectly, combining breaded chicken chunks doused in buffalo sauce with cheese-covered shell macaroni goodness, all combined together perfectly.  The buffalo does not overwhelm; the cheese does not overwhelm, it's all just there, perfectly in sync with each other.

    Lattitude itself is a fascinating place: it seems out of place across the street from The Big E, a Boston-style restaurant in the middle of a much less urban metro.  But it works.  The style of the restaurant is well-crafted, though the area is a little small at times.  However, they make what they make quite well.

    This extends to the drinks.  I had a chance to imbibe on an Egg Nog Martini.  Damn that was good.  You want your egg nog martinis to taste like, well, Egg Nog, and this one hit the spot perfectly.  

    We also started out with some fried Brussels sprouts.  Now I know what you are thinking (EW!).  But these were good!  The sprouts were made even better with the help of a garlic aioli, which added a nice bite of flavor to the mix.

    Finally, I had the peppermint creme brulee.   It was outstanding.

    They also have a lot of other great options, including different steak and seafood options, and as Annie notes, is also seasonally based.  It was a little slow in terms of service, but it's a creative addition to a region (Western Mass and West Springfield)  that needs more creative additions.

    Was in town on a business trip and the hotel recommended a few different places locally.
    I was a little worried when the cab pulled up along a deserted street, with a gun club across from the restaurant, however I was very pleasantly surprised from the moment i stepped inside.  My coworker and I said at the exact same time: "It smells soooo good in here"

    The menu has a good variety of steak and seafood dishes and changes frequently based on seasonal items.  There are also several creative martini's.  
    Our waitress suggested the fried Brussels sprouts which were absolutely FABULOUS with the delicious chilie aioli!!!   The Traditional seafood paella was delicious and loaded with large scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams.  The rice was cooked perfectly, and not mushy.  My coworker tried the beef tournedos and shrimp (their version of surf and turf) and the shrimp and steak were also cooked spot on.  All side dishes were made with really fresh quality ingredients and complemented beautifully.  

    In addition to the great food, the staff was very knowledgeable, and was able to give good recommendations based on preferences.  Great find!!!!

    Since the owner is also the cook (a very good cook) I knew this place would have great food.   Food was very thoughtfully prepared, cooked correctly, and nicely presented.  

    I wanted to give 4.5 stars but can't using this 5 star rating system.  The only issue I had here was being jammed into a rather crowded & noisy space (while there was an empty other dining room in plain sight).  But I guess it is crowded because everyone wants to eat here.  Noise died down after a few tables left.
