| - I'm afraid I'm going to have to dissent from the majority here and say that we were very disappointed by this place. We wanted to love it - great location, inviting atmosphere, very reasonably priced comfort food menu - we could use a place like this on our restaurant rotation.
Alas, that is not to be. The problem is the food. Everything else was perfect and the service was excellent but I'm sorry to say, this is some of the blandest food I've ever had.
There were four of us at dinner and nobody liked their food. Every dish was OK (as in edible) but nothing was particularly good. Every dish was under-seasoned and under-salted. Every single dish, from the bread to the dessert.
A few specifics:
Chopped Salad - As someone else commented, it looked like a child threw some things on a plate. That's spot on. And peanut brittle? Just say no to that idea please.
Osso Buco Confit - Dry and completely devoid of flavor, and a rather small portion on top of it. Accompanied by a tablespoon of (once again) under-salted spaetzle.
Bread - Again, bland - There were four of us and we didn't finish our small bread basket. Everybody tried it and the reaction was, "ehh."
Fruit Cobbler - A ramekin of fruit in syrup with ice cream is not a "cobbler." A cobbler implies either a pastry or biscuit topping. There was none. Very, very disappointing.
Pecan Pie. A very poor execution of this American classic. Again, completely devoid of flavor.
The drinks were quite good and the service was excellent and friendly to a fault. I love the idea of this place and I love the menu, but the food just did not deliver.
