| - My husband and I had heard good things about this place, but overall, left disappointed.
ATMOSPHERE: We had a reservation on a busy Sat. night and were seated right away. Nice. The vibe here is trendy, relaxed, and NOISY. Cool, but almost impossible to have a dinner conversation...maybe the patio would have been better. Nothing wrong with the noise if that's the vibe you're looking for. Maybe just not for a date night away from the kids, where we actually wanted to talk. =)
On to the SERVICE. This was disappointing. We had an emotionless server, whom we rarely saw. When we had a problem with our food the manager should have handled it differently, but chose not to. A better people experience could have left me writing a different review and willing to give this place another shot.
FOOD: We had the brussel sprout caesar salad to start. Not sure if someone accidentally threw the brussel stems in the salad instead of the trash, but that's what we were served. Chewy brussel sprout stems, mixed with radicchio and a few sprigs of romaine.
Next we had the smoked salmon appetizer. This was spot on. Delicious. The potato hash underneath was just the right amount of crispy and salty to go perfectly with the smoked salmon.
I had the blackened Cod entree. YUM. The sauce was so creamy and delicate, and worked nicely with the flakey cod. The "blackened" top was so good! I had asked the server for a glass of wine with dinner. The wine came just as I was finished eating (and I am a slow eater).
The big miss was my husbands $47 New York Steak, ordered medium rare. It came out well done. We rarely send food back, but for $47, this steak better have been cooked to perfection - not hard to do. If we'd been at Outback (which we wouldn't be), cool. Let it go. But we expected more. He sent it back and we waited a good 15 plus minutes. I was long done with my dinner, plate cleared already, before they even brought his back out. We got a half-assed apology from whom we think was the manager. That's it. Wasn't expecting a free meal or anything, but something....even legit customer service would have left us feeling ok about the entire night.
There are so many other places out there to try....don't think we'll be back here again. My tip to the manager is - if your back of the house can't deliver killer food, then the front of the house needs to make up for it. Neither happened here.
