| - The mood, lighting, and atmosphere all around was very appealing (which is what attracted us there in the first place). The menu selections all sounded wonderful until our food actually arrived. It was very mediocre. I would have considered going back, except for the fact that the service was even worse than the food.
I ordered a bottle of wine for my boyfriend and I to split. It didn't come to the table until after all of our food arrived. I'm assuming it's because our waitress was under 21 and unable to serve it herself, but she never even brought us waters in the meantime. The waitress that did serve the wine brought it directly to my boyfriend and asked if he'd like to try it without even acknowledging my presence, even though I'm the one who ordered the bottle in the first place. Which is even more annoying considering that our waitress was standing next to her witnessing this. He awkwardly handed her my glass to gesture that, and she said to him, "Oh, would you like her to try it instead?", as though I needed my boyfriend's permission to try the wine I ordered. It was an uncomfortable and awkward situation.
We ordered a couple of appetizers with our meals. I ordered the BBQ Pork Belly nachos appetizer as my meal and told the waitress this so she knew to bring it out later with my boyfriend's burger instead of with the other appetizer. Go figure, the nachos were one of the first things to arrive. Our waitress even made a comment about them coming out sooner than I was hoping when she saw them on the table, yet did nothing about it. They weren't bad, but definitely nothing special considering that they were just made with processed cheese and fancy toppings (I honestly didn't expect anything more, so this didn't necessarily disappoint me). However, we were sitting outside in 55 degree weather, so the nachos got cold pretty fast, which made them even more disappointing. The rest of the food was good, but not great.
Needless to say, we will not be going back, even if we were to have better service. The food itself wasn't worth it. If this is what Culinary School dropout food is like then my advice to the future chefs out there...DON'T DROP OUT!!
