| - The food is tasty, but I had a few issues.
The apps were a duo of sashimi and bacon and eggs (pork bell, 5 minute egg). Both dishes were fantastic - and nice portion sizes, so we were off to a great start.
But then...the cod had a bone in it. *Gasp* Some people might think it's being snobby -- but for the price ($28), the chefs know better, and it's an elementary mistake. It's not TGIFs or Cheescake Factory, but a place with $20-30 entrees in a city where Primanti's is king.
Worse yet, my surf and turf (crabcake and NY strip steak) was cold. Cooked to medium rare, but it was cold when it came out. It clearly was sitting at the pass too long. For the first time in my life, I sent a dish back (dude, $32 you better get it right!) - and it wasn't a newly fired entree -- but the same one just heated up more! And so the meat was no longer medium rare -- and it was still only lukewarm. Disappointing.
So basically, we had two dishes we wanted to send back -- we didn't send the cod because I had already sent the surf/turf back -and didn't want to be that table. Oh well.
So we skipped desert. A shame, because the food was otherwise good, we had excellent service, and a nice atmosphere. We might consider coming back, but will probably try other places first.
