| - Good food but one thing that made the great food only good, almost everything our group ordered (besides the mac and cheese) was lukewarm.
First let's start out that this restaurant is located in a really cool place. It's the ACE hotel which was a former YMCA and yes, they still have the gym!
It was a beautiful night so we chose to eat outside.This place was very hipster and as you would expect they had craft beer, yum, lucky me.
I started off with some fried green tomatoes which were really good, I wish I would have know that it was going to be so small though otherwise I would have ordered more since I shared with people.
For the main I had rabbit, it was quite good just not at all warm enough. I tried someone else's duck and really liked it, however, not warm enough.
I am not a beef person but there were some people at the table that ordered the family style steaks and man were they ever big. Apparently this place orders whole cows in and cuts their own steaks.
Desert was good, I had the lemon cream or mouse or I forget exactly but it was quite nice. Had an espresso to go with it and... it too was not warm enough, now I know espresso should not be hot like some place make it, but seriously, this was not at all warm enough, at least it went with the lukewarm theme that the rest of the meal had.
One thing to note that if you sit outside after dark, there is no lighting and it is hard to see, we had to use our flashlights on our phones to read the desert menu! I did not have an issue but some people in my group did not like that.
Would I go back? Yes, but only if I could be gaurenteed a hot meal.
