I used to be a frequent customer some time ago before the name change, but lately I cannot find an excuse to go in. There are several things about this place that just hurt its experience.
RIght when you walk in the door, you see a bunch of arcade games next to dining tables. This was likely used as a draw to bring families into the restaurant. But unless you're with children, this doesn't make for a comfortable dining atmosphere. It becomes annoying very quickly.
This leaves the bar for seating. While the bartenders were reasonably friendly, the drinks were too pricey for its location. And smoke certainly degrades a dining experience.
Lastly, the food has slowly become deploring. I wanted to continue to like this place. But the food quality has gone so downhill that it's just not possible.
This place had promise when its the Half Shelf. But since its name change and revamp, it just hasn't been able to capture a solid foot. Poor food, poorer service, and a depressing atmosphere.
