Only ate there once and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, despite having to send Susan's steak back twice (though it earned us free desserts).

The two highlights of the experience were

The appetizer. It was a kind of shared combo appetizer. They brought this low wooden box with slats dividing it into nine even compartments like a tic-tac-toe game. There were four separate appetizers in four of the compartments (ribs, shrimp, and a couple of other items I can't recall). four other compartments had decorative elements. In the center square was a large smooth river rock that had been heated to 500 degrees. The concept was that you place the item that you are about to eat on the rock for a few seconds to warm it up before you eat (everything had been cooked already). Tres cool!
Dessert. While it almost sounds like something you would get at the fair, it was heavenly. Deep fried pound cake with a scoop of dulce de leche ice cream and drizzled with dulce de leche sauce (yeah - I know that is just a fancy term for caramel). Freakin' amazing.
