Literally one of the most underwhelming meals I have had at any restaurant - ever. Service .5 - food - 1.5 - and that's only because there was an ice cream root beer shot for dessert .. lol. I mean .. from the start - I asked for a different table because we were squeezed into the corner and the hostess gave me the dirtiest look and said "well what would you prefer then?". Well what would I prefer then??? Wtf. I would prefer not being spoken to in a rude manner - by a 18 year old in heels, when we are trying to have a nice dinner at a semi pricey restaurant.
The female server didn't even tell us anything about the menu- "are you ready to order" well.. no - we've been sitting here for about 4 minutes. I was looking for some inspiration and suggestion perhaps ...but - nothing. I asked about wine, and was greeted with a blank stare. I resorted to asking our neighboring tables how their meals were and what they suggested. We chose a few things hoping to get something great - but none of it really hit home or worked that well. Just uninspired and basic dishes. I'm not just trying to be a jerk - but it was pretty weak, and the despondent service made it so much worse.
From that point on, we were repeatedly underwhelmed by the food and we were literally so hungry. Elote corn scallops? - Baja style fish tacos? - the most un flavorful Brussel sprouts ?? What is the direction of the menu meant to be? It was so all-over-the-place.
We didn't finish one single dish and it was cleared away without question. We just had a couple of martinis and hoped dessert would save the meal. It was helpful- the root beer floats - but didn't make up for how weak the rest of everything else was.
To make it worse - The server disappeared for nearly half an hour and eventually I had to get up and chase down a guy in a suit with an earpiece - just to get our check. Terrible. I know things happen - but c'mon. The place was packed and we could not get our check so we could just leave.
This was a fail to say the least. The room was cool and the decor was fun. The 90's inspired music track was a cool vibe - but the service was absolutely terrible and the food was so basic. Seriously.
No one will read this or care - and the kids that think this is good good will continue to support blandness because they have no idea what good is anymore. At around $100 a head - you would hope for, at least, very good. This was REALLY not great.
Let's hope you have a better experience.
Happy Eating!
