We've cut back on going out to eat in the last couple of months. We now go out once a week on a date night dinner. On Monday, we went to Epic Casual Dining. The appetizers were excellent, as usual, but the entrees were only OK this time.
To start, we had the chicken flat bread. This is one of the best appetizers in the world. I'm not even going to describe it in the blog, just go try it. We also had a couple of crab cakes, which are flaky and light. The sauce they come with is sweet and slightly tangy, but mellow enough to allow the nice flavor of the cakes to come through. They serve it with a homemade coleslaw that is fresh and crispy, but I didn't polish that off this time, because I wanted to save a little more stomach real estate for my entree.
As an entree, I had the Pacific White Shrimp over angel hair pasta. The shrimp was ok, but I think it had been frozen for a while before being thawed for my meal (think weeks, not days). The sauce was good, but a little heavy on the soy sauce. I would definitely not call it a $20 meal.
Jenny had a sirloin steak that was pepper crusted... very heavily. The steak was a pretty good cut, and the sauce was very good. If I remember correctly, it was a light peanut sauce. The pepper crusting on the steak overpowered the steak.
My recommendation for Epic is to definitely go and try their appetizers, but consider carefully before diving into an entree. Also, their salads are pretty darn good.

Love to hear about your dining experiences! You could post your plans for your house. Love ya, mama
I do LOVE Epic's flatbread (the skirt steak and portobello one...I like it so much that I really don't want to try anything else and be disappointed), and Ken's salad is my favorite (see parenthesis regarding flatbread for reason why on this one too). Both times we've been I got something I thought sounded good, and it was good, but Mike's was better, so I was a bit disappointed, but only because of my choice.
I recommended for Dr. Smyth to try it for his anniversary earlier this week, and was very anxious because if they didn't like it I would have totally ruined their anniversary. He reported back that they had an Epic time, and the food was great and they loved the live music. I was a bit relieved, and decided that I did not want to have that kind of responsibility for someone's anniversary, or other special occasion. I will not be advising any one else any time soon. Excited to see you Saturday!!!
