I was really disappointed by this place. I went as a double date on a Friday night. Tim had been here before and really enjoyed it. I tried to make a reservation, but was told that they only take them for larger parties (6 or more) - and that if I wanted a guaranteed table, I should show up before 7 because there is typically a 45 minute wait.
Harley and Matt arrived slightly before Tim and I and our bottle of wine. However, they were able to easily secure a table. They said the host took a while to appear to seat them and answered the phone a few times before acknowledging them.
There was a ridiculously long wait for water and wine glasses. We didn't even get a bread platter. Our waitress was kind and gave us some recommendations from the menu. Other than that, we did not see her the entire meal until it was time for us to pay. Our food was dropped by the host and a busboy. We refilled our own wine and water. Someone gave us a bag of burnt bread with our entrees. The food was bland and not very good - the guys enjoyed theirs, but Harley and I did not enjoy ours.
I had the lobster risotto - it was overpowered with chewy lobster. And that is something one would not normally say about a lobster dish. I was starving after finishing my plate and choking down two pieces of charred bread. I ordered beignets for the table, hoping to give e2 a second chance...but the beignets were chewy and bland.
We left very quickly.
