Tonight, Shelly, the boys and I were at Washington Square having some mind-numbing veg-out time. It was getting pretty late and we knew that there would be no way we would be in any shape to prepare a square meal by the time we got home. After reviewing our options of Subway, Spparo's & Newport Bay, the choice was pretty clear.
We were seated quite promptly at Newport in an area with enough room for the boys to make an utter mess and wiggle uncontrollably. The drinks were well priced and really good (had a pinot noir). The apitizer we had (peel and eat shrimp) were not only seasoned and cleaned with the proper pooer scooper, but they were pretty well priced at about 8-9 dollars.
The big surprise was the dinner, however. We knew that we would eat a lot of food between the four of us, so we ordered this family dinner special they had on their menu. It was wild Alaska salmon with asparagus and the menu showed it was enough to feed 3-4 for $39. We thought it was a good idea.
It turned out to be enough to feed about 8 or 9 people. There were two HUGE salmon filets and about 5 different bunches of broiled asparagus wrapped in a slice baked ham. I think we ate about 3/4's of just one side of one filet and 3 bunches of asparagus.
The server was about the nicest person whom has ever waited on us, anywhere. She was knowledable, great with the kids and made us feel like real guests. Shelly and I are often so disapointed with guest services we receive when we go out (which is really rare), and I think that's what I was expecting. Newport Bay gave me the 'wow factor' tonight and I'll definitely go back to that location again. I just hope that they deliver again.
