Headed out for restaurant week again last night - went to good ole' Arnie's place. Hate to say it but the food wasn't nearly as good as other times I've been there. My $36 price fixe menu included some deep fried artichoke hearts with Parmesan & marinara ( kind of heavy - couldn't even tell what I was eating ) , Scallops with tempura sweet potatoes and bok choy in a soy mushroom broth ( just way too salty, bok choy really over cooked, scallops were cooked nicely though I only got 3 , not enough! ) and their date bread pudding, which is always nice but I think Babs makes better! Anyhow the service was very good at least - and I was impressed by the fact that a busboy threw away my Mom's leftovers and they made her a whole new dish. She had the filet medallions with blue cheese which were pretty good, by the way. She did however order the sorbet trio and got three scoops of the same sorbet, hilarious!
So far I am much more impressed with what Morgan's did with restaurant week - but I have two more dinners to go . . .will report =)
