They were easily the best part of the menu.There was 7 of us. For apps we got Stuffed Elm Blue Oyster (nothing was stuffed. There was only one type of mushroom. It 's was pretty good) and fried queso fresco (this was just fried cheese.I feel like they 're adding fresco to make it sound better. The tomatillo sauce was a good add though, so I recommend it).For entrees we got the swordfish special (slightly over cooked, but with delicious peach chutney), steak (slightly dry with good charcoal flavor, but not much seasoning), burger (overcooked with tasty bacon jam and pimento cheese), brown butter chicken (average), pesto penne (average), Asian braised pork bowl (best tasting and put together entree of the evening).The fantastic desserts were strawberry pie and chocolate cheesecake. I don 't even like chocolate cheesecake and I thought it was excellent.In closing, it was good, but definitely not great. Was it worth the price? It 's borderline.
