| - Came here for summerlicious with a large group. We got seated on the patio on a beautiful day, so points for that. The service overall was pretty good, they refilled our waters pretty often on a hot day so points for that too, that is where all the positives end.
The food was pretty bad here. I started off with beef carpaccio, the beef served was bit off colored and "seared" on the outside which made it a grey and pale pink piece of meat served. I was not impressed.
I had ordered the steak sandwich and had specifically asked nicely if it could be medium rare or medium, since I HATE well done steak. I got a beyond well done steak sandwich for my entree. The mushrooms were also making the bread soggy and it was pretty greasy. I would have complained but I was with a big group of coworkers and my boss and did not want to spoil the celebratory mood by complaining about my food. It was hard to eat this.
For dessert I got the cheesecake, and it was a gritty over-sweetened mess. The cake is definitely overbaked and has a terrible gritty texture. It was also super sweet, I ate one tablespoon and could eat anymore.
I get that summerlicious is pretty cheap, $15 for 3 courses, but I have been to other places for summerlicious and winterlicious and they have been great (eg Bodega right down the road). If you are going to participate shouldn't this be an opportunity to gain customers and not lose them? Anyways, 2 stars for patio and constant water refills, -5 for food.
