I don't ear meat but for our Anniversary my meat-loving wife got to choose the restaurant. She enjoyed the T-bone and brought 2/3 of it home. Salads were just basic but good. Crusted seabass was good but smothered in butter, just like the meat. For some reason.

We enjoyed our meal at Winesellar. My wife had 2 appetizers- the delicious escargot tart, which was more like a flatbread, and the assorted mushrooms. I chose the beautifully-prepared octopus and a tasty ribeye. We complimented the meal with a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape from their extensive wine list. Service was friendly and professional.
