I work in the industry, and have been looking forward to trying the Optimist for the first time for quite a while now. All I can truly emphasize is how much I can't wait to return after my first experience.
My lovely partner and I had a rare night off together for our anniversary, and somehow managed to find ourselves enjoying the best meal we've had to date on our first anniversary with each other. She languished in comparing oysters while I was much like a kid in a candy store with the wine list. It's not often one can find such a thoughtfully curated list of specifically white wines. We started with a glass of muscadet to pair with oysters. If this is an option with oysters, I have a hard time not choosing it, and I was not disappointed.
Finding a reasonably priced bottle of Aligoté on the menu furthered my excitement as we moved forward with our seafood driven experience.
Major props for its inclusion on this wonderful list of wines. This wine perfectly complimented the Arctic Char with Lump Crab and Beurre Blanc I chose, my wonderful date opted into even more oysters for her entree, and we were both just absolutely elated.
I know this review is getting a little long winded, but I would hate to leave out the extremely significant point that our server, Izzy, was nothing less than fantastic, and could not have made our experience more lovely. Her attention to detail was exquisite, and her demeanor is sought after in special hospitality moments. I'm so grateful we were blessed by her service, and the flowers she so thoughtfully gave us at the end of our meal as a lagniappe are currently in water on our kitchen table. She was a joy.
Cheers to this absolutely wonderful establishment. I can't emphasize how much I am looking forward to coming back, and I have been excitedly recommending it to anyone who will listen as well.
Oh...one last thing. Best dinner roll I've ever tasted.
Well done.
