One of the weak links in prior 1424 dinner experiences was the bread. That has been remedied with fresh, hot, crusty french (i.e., perfect) bread.
The result was one of the finest meals we have had at one of our favorite restaurants in Waco. However, we must say we have never had a bad meal there. We both chose dishes we had never had. Jim's mahi-mahi was a Friday seafood special. The fish was sweet and delicate, and the stuffing was an excellent contrast to the slightly spicy tomato sauce as a topping.
Ramona's seafood piccata was a wonderful variety of tastes and textures. The dish also had plenty of shrimp and scallops for sharing with a chunk of my fish, sauce, and stuffing.
Wes did an excellent job of serving. He is the opposite of all the things we find annoying in the chains. He was attentive without hovering, and knew when to refill wine and water glasses. He also offered coffee, which was a shade weak for my taste, but my test is a spoon able to stand by itself in the middle of the cup!
All in all, an outstanding dining experience, and a must visit. Incidentally, we put our name in for Valentine's Day dinner, even though they have not yet started taking names. Last year we were shut out, and that will not happen again, especially since this will be our sixth anniversary together.
