I wanted so incredibly bad to like this place. Took my wife on a date and found WCK on OpenTable. The menu looked great, awesome craft cocktails and a super cool interior that is crafted from an old movie theater and plays clips of old movies. It reminded me a lot of a place in San Francisco that my wife and I went to.
We got to the place and really loved the atmosphere. We grabbed a drink at the bar which was really good and then were seated. The atmosphere was really cool (maybe could have been a little less bright, but that's getting picky). Our waitress was really nice and went over the menu. We ordered another round of drinks and some appetizers. We ordered a "flash fried" lobster appetizer and duck confit cigars. The lobster was overly fried and the duck cigars just tasted like an egg roll. Not super impressed but also not the worst.
We looked over the menu and it all looked so good. We couldn't decide on an entree, the list of sides looked amazing and we wanted dessert so we decided to get three sides: lobster corn risotto, brussel sprouts, and glazed mushrooms. Each one was worse than the next.
The brussel sprouts were least terrible but were mushy almost like they were boiled or steamed. No flavor at all to them (this is a theme). Next, the lobster corn risotto was hard and devoid of any flavor at all. Super disappointing. Then the mushrooms. Wow. If someone took canned mushrooms and dumped them in a pool of garbage water it would be better. They were remarkably bad.
We decided to skip dessert at that point at went to Amelie's. So the review here is: 4.5 star atmosphere, 4 stars for drinks and service and negative five stars for food. Which makes us so sad because when we came in we talked about how many people we wanted to tell about this place but now I would keep all of my frends away until they fix the food.
