Flight Wine Bar Restaurant

I took a friend to Flight for her birthday. We try to get together monthly and go somewhere different or where one or the other hasn’t been. She has never been so I thought this was perfect. She asked our waiter for suggestions and was not disappointed. She had the shrimp special. The shrimp was not shrimpy and she ate everything! I had the pesto gnocchi and thoroughly enjoyed it too. Our waiter then suggested a dessert, the flight of shortcakes. Once again, it didn’t disappointed. And because I mentioned at the beginning of our meal that we were there for my friend’s birthday he put a candle in one of the cakes (a perfect touch to a perfect dessert). Oh and he also suggested the chocolate martini. This is a definite must! So yummy!!

The calamari is the best. Had veal scallopini, outstanding. Simply the best restaurant in the area.

My favorite place in town to grab a coffee and a quick bite on the way to the office. Fast friendly service and fresh ingredients always!!! pictured is the Burrito Lorraine. SO DELICIOUS!!!

This was our first time at the restaurant. We opted for the three course menu with wine pairing . Though a small restaurant in a gorgeous historical building , they were very busy, with only 2 wait staff, which may explain why our waiter seemed a little frazzled. He took our orders, but was not familiar with a few menu items, as they were specials, so was unable to explain them, or offer any information about them , which really left us guessing. After discussing how the wine pairing was done , we opted to select our own choices from the wine menu. The meal: began with an AMUSE.. a luscious grilled shrimp in bloody orange cocktail sauce ; a great starter ; delicious. For First Course I had the beef carpaccio with quail egg, berries, red onion etc. that was as delicate and tasty as expected. My husband had the house made mozzarella, poached pair, walnuts and baby lettuce. Being we were trying each others choices, I have to say that this salad was perfection! For Entrees , my husband had the highly praised filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection as requested medium rare with perfect accompaniments, and a more than generous amount , given this was a multiple course meal. I chose the lobster fettuccine. The lobster was succulent and delicious, but unfortunately the pasta was over cooked bordering on mush. I wish I had gone with the salmon. Unfortunately, I would not consider their Italian Flight dinner which includes 2 pasta dishes. For Dessert, we tried one of each. The chocolate strawberry mousse tart was incredible,with a fabulous pastry crust. The chocolate tiramisu left something to be desired, as it lacked any hint of espresso. The Wines: we enjoyed all our pairings . The Pinot with our first course was wonderful and the cote de Rhône complemented the filet as did the white Bordeaux the lobster. We went with our waiter’s recommendation, a moscato, with dessert; An excellent, delightful complement. Two comments as to the wine, the portions were a bit scrimpy, more like a tasting rather than a pairing. The reds were way too warm, surprising for a wine bar. Wine temperatures for serving reds are best at between 55’-60’ on average. Overall, we had a lovely evening, and a delicious unrushed meal. We’ll be back.

We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine, the New York State charcuterie board and the fried artichoke hearts on ladies night. It was so delicious!
