| - Parking is a chore. We arrived before the valet came out so we had to park in a neighborhood a few blocks away (should have read a recent Yelp-er who suggested just parking in the Starbucks lot).
Service was attentive, almost overly so. This place employs the tag team waitstaff approach where you get a revolving door of servers, waiters, busboys, etc. You didn't know who was coming next. Personally, I like the one water to a table system. Anyway, Brittany, who was "taking care of us tonight" (God, I hate that expression) must've gotten fired from her last job as a used car salesman, because she tried to sell and upsell on every visit to our table. Enough! If I want another beer, I'll ask. If I want the special, I'll tell you. Dessert? My choice. Entirely too pushy.
The food itself was just OK. I wish I knew I was paying an extra $9 for a single, so-so crabcake. When Brittany described it originally it sounded like it came with the special of one of my fellow patrons. I had the rib eye which was really fatty and not cooked enough (Tip: choose the cheaper by $2 non-marinated version. The soy and something marinade made it too sweet). Another friend's pork chop looked good. On all three plates came a passable mashed potato something, but no other vegetable.
At $60 (with tip) per head for salad, entree and two drinks each, 131 Main was certainly not worth the trip.
