From other threads, I understand the restaurant Appetite has supplanted (geographically) a restaurant named Flamboyant (sp?) and out of necessity a favorite tree of many people's was removed. That being said, I wanted to post my experience at the current restaurant...

Sounds interesting- what does the regular ala carte menu look like?

Carol, my partner remembers a nice but not overly ambitious menu of steak and seafood on the a la carte menu. I personally, didn't even look - I was fascinated with the appetizer concept and taking a "chance" with a new restaurant and the "surprise" aspect of the appetizer meal.

I like it! So more or less a tapas type dining experience?

Precisely RA - except distinctly different from any South American flair.

I honestly can't imagine continually varying the appetizers unless VERY skilled. The service issues will be ironed out but to provide a depth of creativity that they promise is pretty impressive! I look forward to seeing if they can pull it off (and I AM rooting for them!)

Carol, there were 4 of us for dinner in January and all ate from the ala carte menu. We each had a different dish and all agreed it was very well prepared. I had the Mahi-mahi (what else) special and it was cooked perfectly. I am not a lover of sauces but theirs was superb. The only complaint we had was the very slow service. They were only open one month and we had a new waitress. The place was nearly full and all seemed to enjoy their meal.
