    When they removed Lemon caper grey sole from their menu I lost interest. But when I was scouting out restaurants for my birthday I saw that it was mostly back and, therefore, so am I. Choose seared sole with lemon and crispy caper sauce. Coupled with whipped potatoes and broccoli it is lovely. Sole is tricky so I only trust Legal and myself to cook it right.

    Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

    The Valentine Menu was great. Our party enjoyed the filet mignon and the chicken. The bang band shrimp was delicious as were the salads. Such a fun evening with delicious food. The four of us enjoyed a nice evening with wonderful service by Adam.

    We were the last reservation of the night. The service was attentive, and the food was very tasty. I had the pumpkin Kibby, which made me happy. The shrimp risotto is also very good. Seasoned well The cocktails were made very well and were different. Than a shopping plaza but definitely feels different on the inside. Nice ambience. Did not feel rushed to leave. We’ll go back again.
