never fails to disappoint!. ever since i first visited the broken plate, i've kept coming back and am always leaving satisfied, with a full stomach, practically in a food-induced coma.
my last visit was no different! my girlfriend and i were looking for a nice place to go for new year's eve dinner, and i, being the procrastinator that i am, didn't reserve a table at arestaurantin preparation for our evening. after debate between us, i suggested the broken plate, considering she had never been, and i haven't been back in a while. so, i called, and had them save a table for us, which was pretty sweet considering they were packed.
when we arrive, we're seated right away and greeted by our very friendly server, i think her name was megan?
anyways, since it was new year's eve, they had a pre-set menu with four courses and different options for each course. they even had a belly-dancer perform for everyone, very neat!
i started with an order of calamari, served with tzatziki. it was breaded just perfectly, wasn't slimy or overcooked. my girlfriend had an order of greek meatballs, which she enjoyed as well.
second course was a simple greek salad, with fresh feta (lots of feta, which i love). veggies were nice and fresh also.
for the main entrée, i had braised lamb shoulder served with mashed potatoes and veggies, served with this delicious sauce/glaze (can't recall what it was made of). it was absolutely delicious. the meat was so tender and juicy. my girlfriend order the aaa tenderloin, medium-rare, which was also very delicious as well (i just had to sneak a bite).
finally, there was dessert. we ordered the "duo of chocolates", which was basically a white chocolate/bailey's crème liqueur mousse served in a dark chocolate bowl, topped with fresh raspberries and a raspberry glaze. this was one of the best desserts i've had at a restaurant! we both enjoyed it very much, and at the end of it, we were both very very stuffed!
the service provided by everyone was fantastic, the food was delicious, which proved to be a great end to 2012 for my girlfriend and i. i'll definitely return again soon. keep up the fantastic work everyone at the broken plate in willow park!
