Every now and then we try a new restaurant. Tonight we tried Izi's. I was going to try their salmon entree but on their special list was a filet and I'm a beef guy. Should have tried the salmon. Don't get me wrong the service was good and the food was good but just because it's a fancy restaurant doesn't mean the food is a step above any other restaurant. The filet I had at the Palms was delicious and at Jax's which I consider a fancy restaurant was delicious. My steak arrived and the utensils I had to work with was my fork and butter knife which would have worked at The Palms but not here. I had to ask the waitress for a steak knife. My wife had the lasagna which surprised me because her homemade lasagna can't be beat and it was far from hers. For dessert I had the chocolate molten cake. Meh. I sometimes think that the fancy restaurants are more concerned about the presentation rather than just providing good food. The pictures are not the best because of the lighting.
Izi used to be good years ago when Marco was involved but has lost it's touch after he left then even more after recently sold. Again it was one of the featured restaurants of the week on the Jeff Burger rag. I've learned to take those recommendations with a grain of salt. Sometimes those recommendations are spot on only because they are good to begin with.
