Maybe we went here on an off day (eventhough the place was relatively empty) but me and my foodie cohorts were not really impressed with the food that we were served during our visit here.
First let me say that the decor was impressive(Why that's important to me, I'll never know...) A completely different take on the space from the previous Taste of Dahntahn and much appreciated.
Okay, here are my thoughts on the food.... I was kind of disappointed with my food. I am a beef brisket addict and so is one of my co-workers. We both ordered the smoked brisket sandwich (I actually ordered the sandwich as a part of the G &G Power Lunch, along with the small carrot salad.) and my other co-worker ordered the the Roasted Pork Ramen. The beef brisket was not tender and actually chewy, with a greasy aftertaste that was not pleasant. It was almost as though the beef had been made quite some time before we got there and sat in beef fat until the taste became less beefy and more stale tasting. The carrot salad was really nothing to write home about either, however, it was attractive looking. (And I mean that in good way...) I was very surprised at the lack of available side dishes too.
My co-worker who ordered the Roasted Pork Ramen made out like a fat rat! The broth was delicious and the serving size was decent.
Overall, it was okay. The food was less impressive than I expected and the decor was better than I expected. Additionally, the service was respectable and the wait staff knowledgeble. All things considered, this adds up to an "A-Ok" rating versus a "Meh, I've experienced better"
