Such a UNIQUE restaurant. I like the exclusive feel that it offers. Very very VERY good food and the service is also not too bad. I will always consider this one of my favorite “ultimate date night” restaurants
The warm crusty bread was very good to sop up the sauces, which were seasoned well and flavorful. The pasta (noodles) unfortunately are suspiciously commercial, precooked and reheated; the texture was gummy and too soft. The olive oil on the table smelled stale/plastic. The caprese was basic/fine but overpriced, and entrees were fairly priced. The outdoor patio seating would be very nice in fair weather. Staff were very attentive, despite our table being “ready” with no tableware...
We had a lot of great food while we were vacationing in Ruidoso, but this was my personal favorite. We started with a couple of lobster cakes that were delicious. The sauce that came with them was very tasty. My entre was a spicy shrimp over pasta dish. It was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend! Oh, and our waiter was extremely attentive and knowledgeable...and dressed very professionally. It was definitely out of place to see the female servers wearing cut off shorts ?♀️
