Then we followed up with the Spinach Salad with Poached Pears, Walnut-Crusted Goat Cheese and Raspberry Port Vinaigrette &#8211; my only complaint here was that the dressing was very sweet and needed a little salt to balance it out.  For an entree, I had a pan-fried tilapia served over rice and under a crab salad, topped with a jalapeno bacon lime butter sauce.  I could not get over how good this was, and I&#8217;m not usually one for fish dishes.  The tilapia was piping hot and such a nice mouth contrast to the cold crab, corn, and gorgonzola salad atop it.  Hub got a ribeye and asked for it rare, and happily it was cooked correctly.  The meat itself was very flavorful.  The best part is that they&#8217;re relatively modestly priced, and the happy news is that they have kid entrees, too, so I imagine we&#8217;ll go back with the girls since it&#8217;s not terribly quiet inside the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>I hesitate to recommend this place because if people knew how good it is, there would be no getting in, but some stuff is just too excellent not to share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hub and I went to the Backstage Steakhouse for dinner tonight, and we were completely blown away.
