I took my husband to Passion8 for his birthday dinner.  We always meant to try Passion8 at it's Fort Mill location, but for some reason or another, we never did.  I saw that it had moved to Elizabeth and decided to finally give it a try.  I'm so glad we did because it was amazing!  I made a reservation online and received a confirmation email within 24 hours.  When we arrived we were immediately taken to our table (you may not think this is a big deal, but there have been several times we have had reservations at a restaurant and had to wait anywhere from 10-30 minutes for a table).  Our server was Kevin and he was phenomenal.  He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the restaurant and the food.  In fact, we took every recommendation he made because he did such a great job of describing each drink or dish.  We started our evening with cocktails.  My husband had a specialty gin and tonic and I had an apple cider cocktail recommended by Kevin.  Both drinks were fantastic!  We shared the pork belly for our first course and it was delicious...so full of flavor.  For the second course, I had the fall vegetable plate.  The vegetables still had just enough crunch without being too raw and the goat cheese and vinaigrette paired perfectly.  My husband had the market salad and he loved it (which is saying something because he is not much of a salad guy).  For our entree we both had the short rib (recommended by Kevin) and it did not disappoint!  The short rib was cooked to absolute perfection and the wine Kevin suggested paired nicely.  Kevin knew it was my husband's birthday and brought us sweet potato panna cotta.  Holy cow!  Truly one of the most unique desserts I've had.  It was sweet and tart (there was a flavored foam that added the tart taste) and the perfect end to a wonderful meal.  Kevin was kind enough to show us the kitchen so we got a peak at Chef Luca and his team which was really neat.  He also gave my husband a signed birthday card from Passion8.  Definitely a nice, personal touch!  Long story short, Passion8 is warm and inviting with an incredible menu and a great team of people.  I cannot wait for an excuse to go back!
