| - We met up here with a few co workers and friends on a Friday night. Although we did not have a reservation, our request for a table was quickly accommodated.
Our drink orders were placed and brought out in a timely manner. One of the members of our party ordered the gummy bear goblet. It looked delicious and she enjoyed it -- I could only admire it from afar. The goblets are typically $29, but during their happy hour special it was 50% off. I think the special was a great equalizer because as interesting as it looked, I would not have dropped $29 on it.
I did not opt for any sweets this time, but my husband and I decided to share their turkey burger with a side of fries. It looked, and tasted, extremely disappointing. It was a deflated sandwich with some bland turkey, costco buns and mushrooms for $16. It took the two of us 30 minutes to finish it, in between socializing with our party. Had it been great we would have wolfed that thing down in 10 minutes or less. The rest of our party kept ordering drinks and got to take advantage of the great happy hour special that was going on. Our waiter was very attentive and accommodating. He earns most of the stars. The food and regularly priced drinks were extremely over priced. A small bag of candy (and I mean SMALL) was $4. It does appear to be a popular spot for birthday celebrations for high schoolers. You'd know someone was celebrating their birthday when 50 cent's In Da Club would start blasting and there would be staff carrying dessert with sparklers to the table.
Perhaps the birthday niche is the one that works and they should stick to the desserts and maybe go tapas style vs doing substandard burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, etc. It is amazing to me how many people loved taking pictures in front of jars of candy. It made for great people watching.
