The Source is Where It’s At

I love this restaurant. I consider myself a knowledgeable foodie and a service snob and this place always rocks on both scales. From the moment you walk in, you know that this is a special place. There is just a vibe, a hum, a buzz about the place. The front of house staff is always friendly and accommodating.

But the food and the service are what really keep me coming back. Every… single… dish… is delicious. From the Tuna Tartar Cones to the Lamb Lettuce Wraps to the Crispy Pork Belly, every starter just revs up your palate for the entrees to come. I personally love the Wok Fired Whole Fish – it’s fileted tableside and served with a couple of different sauces. The Short Ribs and Noodles is also a huge hit. For a party of six, we usually get four appetizers and four entrees and share the love around the table. And just to show that the staff is really paying attention, if a particular appetizer comes with four pieces, they upgrade the order to make sure that there are enough pieces for everyone in your party to enjoy their own sample. Thoughtful.

Lastly – make room for desserts! I am not big on desserts at restaurants… I’d rather have a cheese plate and a glass of wine, but The Source has such an interesting array of sweet endings, it would be a shame to pass them up. And to prove how bright the staff continues to shine, the Sommelier offered to pair a dessert wine with my Rice Pudding and nailed it right on the head. When I want to relax, enjoy a great meal and feel right at home, I always consider going right to “The Source.”
