| - I'll start off with this place has 5 star potential; however, we experienced minor hiccups with the timing of delivery of our meals.
Here's the story: we got to the restaurant, which we actually encountered when we went to the tapas place next store, sat at the bar, ordered drinks :) life was good. Lots of steel metal and wood accents in here and the motif is just wonderful.
They have TV's at the bar so that made my ADD self happy. There was maybe 3 couples seated at the bar. Glanced over the menu. Couple things they have really healthy meals like pork chops and kale, salmon and brown rice, grilled chicken and veggies on their Summer menu priced at $15.95. They have an extensive pasta list, as well as other Italian favorites.
It's true, when you mention it's your first time eating there they do give you something free! HOORAY free! They served us the fried artichoke hearts, yum yum! I ordered the scampi stuffed chicken breast over pasta and a salad [moderately prices in the low $20 range if I recall] and my friend ordered [I wish you could tag other Yelpers in your reviews :)] pork chops and kale.
Bread came out-good-white bread and rolls. hard to mess this up!
Salad came out-great--[homemade dressing was very very good]
Artichoke hearts came out-anything free is grrrreat!
My meal came out-was very very good, a little too much oil for me but next time I'll say 'light oil', but enjoyed it all the same!
Friends meal-missing! Where'd it go? How comes he gets no food???
Friend starts to eat my food too, he's hungry. I'm a sharer, sometimes. 5 mins later we're told it will be out soon. We keep eating, I pretty much finish my meal, when finally (at least 10 maybe 15 mins later) his meal arrives. Bartender is obviously not happy food is not out so you can see the annoyance on her face.
We went on a Sunday evening around 830, by the time we left around 10 pm, there was at least 7 couples at the bar. Apparently, they are open till 11 and have a reverse happy hour!
