P F means Pretty Fantastic

 

Last night, Diana and I ventured across the Lake and did some last minute shopping for clothes for me.  We were right by PF Chang’s when we finished clothes shopping.   So, I called a good friend, Jerome Jackson,  who is Executive Chef there to see if he was on duty and he was not.  He had spoken so well of the restaurant we decided to go anyway.

Best decision I have made in quite some time!

Jerome called ahead to let the manager know we were coming and  got us a table quickly.  We had the dinner for two and it was fabulous. Choice of soups. starter, 2 entrée’s and mini desserts. 

The hot & sour soup was thick and just at ouch of spicy.  We had the lettuce wrap for starters and it was a food that entailed creativity and manual dexterity.  They bring you extremely fresh ice berg lettuce and diced chicken that has been cooked with other items. You scoop the chicken into the lettuce then roll it  and eat it.  It is superb.

We had 2 types of chicken for entrees’ and they were both great tasting and huge portions.

The service was fantastic.  We had an experienced pro who was training a new waiter on his 4th day on the job.  They both were attentive without being intrusive.

Each of the managers on duty stopped by to see if we were enjoying the meal.  We were.  I told one of the managers they should have diners bring a thesaurus so they don’t run out of adjectives to describe the experience.

PF Chang is not just food…it is an experience. 

We were seated between families wrapping up their work week with kids bounding all around.  On the other side were students dressed all grown up for Senor Prom. It was a great people watching opportunity.

I would sum up PF Chang as fun, fantastic, family-friendly and a fine value for the money.
