I wish I could leave a better rating for this restaurant, as I have the feeling that when they get things *right*, they're really right.
Unfortunately, they got about half of the things we ordered wrong.
Let me start by saying that my plate was pretty delightful. I tried the sweet chili salmon, which was well-spiced and sauced. The asian veggies on the side were perfectly cooked and flavored, and the horseradish mashed potatoes had neither too much nor too little horseradish, which is no small feat to properly gage. They could have been slightly warmer when they came out, and needed a touch more salt, but these are minor quibbles.
The Fiance, alas, did not have as good a dining experience as I did. He ordered a cheeseburger with everything on it but mayo (which he does. not. like). They brought a burger with nothing BUT mayo. We couldn't find our waitress to correct the mistake, so finally had to flag down another waiter (who, by the way, acted most appropriately: when we asked if he could find our waitress, he instead asked what we needed.) so we could get some ketchup and mustard delivered on the side.
Fiance later said the burger, even disregarding the mayo mishap, was very bland and tasted as though the beef had not been seasoned at all. He would not order it again.
One side comes with the burgers - a fact not mentioned on the menu - so Fiance ordered the collards. The collards here are made with smoked turkey instead of pork. They were cooked well, but the flavor was lacking. Not sure if that was due to the turkey, or just an absence of other seasoning in the pot?
Portions were abundant; I took about half my potatoes and salmon home, along with Fiance's leftover collards. We were both too full but wanted to try the famed banana pudding, so got an order to go.
Much later that night, we dug into the pudding. Loved the marshmallow creme on top, but was most dismayed to find absolutely zero vanilla wafers in the whole of the dish. Since they're touted as being homemade and thus amazing, I was most looking forward to sampling that part of the dish. Apparently, on this night, it was not to be.
I have heard that Savor is a better deal, $-wise, for lunch, so we may give them another try if we happen to be in that part of town for a midday meal, but I'm afraid Fiance was too disappointed to want to try dinner again. A shame, since I do think that, under different circumstances, we might have had a much better experience.
