    Second visit to Encore. The first was for a private party with a special menu. The food was amazing so I was interested to see how the normal menu compared. It did not disappoint. Fresh bread. Bruschetta that was delicious and I rarely eat raw tomatoes. The crab cake appetizer was ALL crabmeat and extremely flavorful. The anti-pasto board was mind blowing. For the entree I had the Porterhouse veal chop. Melted in my mouth. And the cannolis, well I had been waiting for those since the private party. Well done! We will be back.
