We were seated at a tiny deuce tucked into a corner so my husbands back was to the view and mine was out the side window…so much for requesting a table w/ a view when reservations were made. We scheduled an early reservation, 6 PM, to be there for the sunset. I know the view is to the east, but it is a lovely view and there was a nice reflective quality of the sun setting to the west…better watch closely tho as it is quick. We recognized our server from another restaurant we had been to previously and she was pleasant and attentive. For reasons I am not completely clear on we were given an amuse bouche, prosciutto wrapped around a cluster of greens w/ a little sauce drizzled over…a very nice touch. We both had lovely appetizers, mine w/ shrimp and my husbands was escargot…both delicious. I went for scallops again tonite and wasn’t disappointed by 4 large ones w/ mashed potatoes, saut饤 spinach, mushrooms and a light delicate sauce to perfectly compliment. It was perfectly prepared, a beautiful presentation, and a pleasure to devour! My husband was equally impressed with his mahi on polenta w/ herbs and a thin white sauce. I hope you can feel how pleased we were with their food. It is well worth the drive to get there and I look forward to returning on future vacations to STJ.
