Didn't love Peppino's either. Can't remember what I got, maybe because it was forgettable. Will go back to try the eggplant parm though.

Had lunch here today. It's an out the way hidden gem that opened about 3 months ago.
Talked with the owner/chef who was formerly with Hyatt and left to pursue his own dream.

Everything is locally sourced, wine and beer list is good.
Dishes are all made from scratch. Very impressed with this place.

It's upstairs from a tennis club by Glenmore athletic park by the reservoir, pool, track, safety city.

+1 for Chefs N Farmers. Really weird location, but great food. The servers couldn't be nicer as well. It was not particularly busy on a Saturday night, so I do hope they are doing ok. Always nice to support local.

Menu is fairly small. Just wondering what either of you guys had for dinner/lunch there and if you'd recommend that dish

Fortunas Row open and went, it was excellent. From one of the minds of Con Mi Taco. The interior is great as is the food.

We stuck to the more casual stuff. Chicken sandwich, poke bowl, taco appetizer. All were really good.

As I understand it, the chef comes from a fine dining background, but the vibe is more casual. They do have steak and salmon on the menu, but we didn't try them.

The server was also explaining that they have a special set menu coming up (Wednesday, I think). Too late to book now, I suspect, but it looked really good, with booze (tequila inspired cocktails) and the main of ribeye, which I generally can't resist.

Is it finally open? I walked by during stampede and the hotel wasn't open yet.

Google says it opened 4 days ago. Neat.

Can anyone find a menu? Neither the Dorian website or Opentable seem to have it... It would be nice to see before deciding to book.

I swear I looked at it on their site, and now I just can't find it again.

I booked and looked at the menu and am kind of debating whether to keep the reservation at this point.

My wife and I had and absolutely excellent meal there a week or two ago. It looks like they have changed menus, but both the food and service were great.

The menu didn't go much for me to be honest.

I had dinner there a couple months ago and it was excellent. We had the waiter make all the choices for us and were not disappointed with that decision.
