I loved this place as soon as we walked in the door. I described the decor as Victorian brothel/pub . The ceiling was bright pink, there are lights with fringed shades, ceiling fans, door ways with tied back curtains and lots of heavily carved wood.
I started off with a drink called a Hawaiian Killer Whale. It was hot cider with coconut rum and a cinnamon stick, served in a crystal Irish coffee mug with cinnamon sugar on the rim. Need I say more. It was fabulous. And on a cold February day it warmed me all the way through. If it wasn't for the $5 price tag I would have had several.
We split an appetizer of Maine and New Bedford Crabcakes. They are a combination of Maine crab and New Bedford scallops. They are served with two sauces, one a sweet aioli and the other a salsa. There are two really good sizes cakes, nice texture and very tasty.
Another appetizer that tempted me was fondue. Not a usual offering. Since I had just had the fabulous fondue in Switzerland I figured I would wait for another visit to try the fondue here.
We both chose City Grill Wrappers for our meal. They are large totillas wrapped around different fillings. I had a cheddar tortilla with Jamaican Chicken and Al had Roast Beef in a garlic/herb tortilla. They were both well stuffed and excellent. They are served with kettle chips and a pickle spear. We were only able to manage half of the wrap so we took the other half for our late evening snack.
They have lots of seafood and steak offerings here as well as burgers, soups,chili, salads and sandwiches. The special was a lemon-pepper swordfish. They also have a seafood chowder which is a specialty of the house.
Service was efficient and we would certainly return here again. We were too full to try the desserts but they certainly looked worth a try (the people at the next table tried several).
