| - My sister, mom, cousins and I, tried this restaurant last night....we had the worst experience.
First off we sat upstairs and it was absolutely freezing- we all kept our jackets on thru most of the meal...it was also one of the loudest restaurants we have ever been to, which made it difficult to converse with one another. On a side note, the hostess made us walk past a tree in the corner upstairs that literally smacked my cousin and I, in the face...we were confused as to why we had to squeeze past a table and that annoying large tree...ridiculous! We all made a comment about that stupid tree! Find a better spot, or don't walk your customers thru that tight spot! I mean, I'm a skinny girl and it was tight!
Next, the waitress, with ZERO personality, took our drink order...she was unfriendly and just plain old miserable...wrong profession for someone with a terrible personality. It took her forever to serve us our drinks.
Ok, the drinks---I ordered a dirty martini, excited to try it, but as soon as it was brought to the table, I was very annoyed. The martini was warm, and not properly made. The glass, if you can call it that, was barely larger than a shot glass...when it was placed on the table, my family members all commented on the tiny, absurd size of the glass it was poured into. The olives on the toothpick took up half the glass, and when I pulled the olives out, the martini was even less filled n the glass!!!! They charged full price for the smallest martini I ever laid my eyes on, in my entire life. My mom ordered a Cosmo and it was served in the same size glass as well...we joked all night that we were not going to order another "3sip cocktail" and pay as much as we were charged! My mom spilled her Cosmo all over the table, after a sip...the waitress didn't offer to make her another one, which was to be expected, since she was the worst server ever! Also, My cousin ordered champagne and they poured it at the table, into a RED WINE glass- why would they do that? It's meant to be served in a champagne flute for a reason, to preserve the bubbliness of the champagne. Not ok for the crappy glassware choices this place made on every single level!
The menu- trying too hard to be cool and trendy...expensive prices for horrible small plates of food...my family ordered a bunch of different dishes as appetizers along with the main course...there was literally nothing at this restaurant that I would even want to try. As I drank my pathetic tiny cocktail, they all tried the food. They ordered the duck fat French fries (disgusting) why would they cook in duck fat? makes me sick. My family said that it was not too bad, but just extremely salty and strange tasting....they also ordered the fried chicken, yet after they all bit into it, they said it had a weird taste...my mom looked at my sister and my cousins plate and said, that's because it's dark meat...
That is so gross, greasy and unhealthy and who wants the gross dark meat of the chicken in the year 2016??? That menu was nasty! I'm all about trying new things, but that chef was unaccommodating and not willing to leave stuff off of our plates. Has he ever heard the saying, THE CUSTOMER COMES FIRST? Obviously not...look, this is Davidson, NC, not NYC...get real! The menu is annoyingly complicated, I prefer simple flavors and not junking up a dish. They were too worried about plating the food and not worrying about flavors that go well together. (They must have watched Too much Food Network!)
My sister and cousins got the pasta dishes, and said they were disgusting....my mom knew I would not eat squid ink or their jacked up pastas, so she ordered the beets which were not bad after I got past the salad dressing it was drenched in, and also the pickles with onions...umm, nothing special about those- more like cucumbers soaked in vinegar for the day.
The manager or own we never came to our table either.
My cousin and sister complained as we were leaving this place and the manager asked if he could by them a shot at the bar! Haha. What a joke, really, we are not in college and a shot is not the answer to fix this. (They declined the shot) He then gave my cousin a gift card. None of us wanted to take the gc, because we will never return, but my cousin took it- she should give it to someone she dislikes and let them experience the crap we had to deal with...We all left hungry and dying for good cocktails, so we headed to Red Rocks for martinis and I got my salad!
From now on, I will stick with Mickey and Mooch and the local LKN standards which I love...hell, I would rather have gone to Macs in Cornelius or Duckworths or La Unica. This place is the worst, ever!
