This restaurant is on the fourth floor of the First Interstate Tower Building. Parking is difficult. You must drive around a huge maze to find the cramped visitors parking. Try to get out of your space once there are cars parked on either side of you and a parking structure pole blocks you from behind. The only positive about self-parking is that it's free with validation. You might want to spring for the valet parking instead.
Trying to find the right elevator to the restaurant was an ordeal as well. I got lost and needed to ask directions to the right elevator to the restaurant. (I got lost on the way down as well and had to stop for directions once again.) Once inside, the restaurant is extremely dim. There are 11 private booths with telephones, which can be used for complimentary local phone calls. We were seated near the back of the restaurant where it was quieter. There was a loud din up front. There is also a patio area where the happy hour drinks are served.
I ordered an appetizer to share with my friends. It was a Bourbon Street-style shrimp appetizer served on garlic toast. Our server recommended it, claiming it brought back memories of New Orleans. It was a good appetizer, but I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic taste. I ordered swordfish, which had a sun-dried tomato butter with very little else. The swordfish itself was fantastic. One friend ordered the mixed grill, while the other friend ordered the tiger shrimp. My friend ordered a glass of Pinot Noir to go with her mixed grill. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay that went very well with my swordfish. My other friend ordered lemonade with her tiger shrimp. There were only four tiger shrimps in her dish. There were more shrimps in the appetizer. I think I would go with a different entrée if you wanted to try a dish with shrimps in it. For dessert, my two friends split a slice of apple pie while I had a slice of key lime pie. I found this key lime pie to be less sweet than other key lime pies that I had tried; a good thing indeed. Our total came out to be about $120, including tax and tip.
A happy hour menu is served from Monday to Friday, 3pm to 7pm. You can choose from the $4.95 column (entrées like Pacific halibut fish and chips, deep-fried oysters with tartar sauce, fresh rock shrimp popcorn, salmon carpaccio, cheese tortellini in pesto cream, and Kung Pao ahi stirfry) or the $1.95 column (appetizers like Cajun calamari, spicy Buffalo wings, cheeseburger, fish tacos, jalapeño poppers, clam chowder, three-cheese quesadillas, chicken potstickers, chocolate truffle cake, teriyaki beef skewers, smoked salmon lahvosh, stir-fry rice bowl, and fried zucchini sticks).
Our servers were excellent. When I was leaving, our server ran after me since I had dropped some money on the floor. Honesty and good service. What a great combination!
