Stephi's on Tremont

On an impromptu lunch with my father the other day I decided we should try Stephi's on Tremont St. in the South End. I hadn't heard great things about Stephanie's on Newbury therefore, I was a little hesitant but figured what the hell. It was buzzing at around 1:30pm when we arrived but we were seated right away at the above pictured booth (very comfortable and chic if I may add). It was a Friday so everyone was drinking during lunch, although it appeared to be full of professionals and entrepreneurs having meetings. We ordered Lime Rickey's to start and their salty pretzel crusted crab cakes, my father enjoyed the crab cakes and said they were better than those he had recently had on a trip to Maryland, I was shocked. For our main course I had the pecan tempura chicken sandwich (lightly battered breast of chicken with house made guacamole and buttermilk ranch, served on brioche bun with french fries) and my father had a grilled chicken caesar salad. My sandwich was unbelievably delicious; I was completely caught off guard and surprised. My father's salad was fresh and made to order not to mention the Lime Rickey's were made just right. We skipped on dessert since I had to return to work but I will be sure to try next time. The service was pretty good considering how busy the restaurant seemed to be and the bathrooms were clean. With that I give this place a definite two thumbs up and it is deserving of exploring dinner and brunch....happy eating!
