| - Ok really what happened to the food?
I loved the clubby feel of the restaurant. It was very much a place that reminded me of back east with its dim lit recesses.
However, seriously WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FOOD?
We got oysters that were actually very tasty. I would order those again. It was a good start. I was excited.
I ordered a steak sandwich which came and had a thin grisly piece of meat, probably the cheapest cut from Sysco. Why I was asked how I wanted my meat cooked is beyond me because this cheap piece of meat was incapable of being cooked any other way than done. It was encased by a plain dry white hoggie roll, topped with one slice of seemly unwashed lettuce and one slice of tomato and red onion and chipotle mayo on the side.
However the saddest part of that plate was the INSTANT mashed potatoes. They just broke my heart sitting there sad, flavorless and gelatinous on my plate.
Why would you do that to your patrons? Why?
The other half got a burger which was adequate. The meat was thick, the onions flavorful, bacon thick and crispy. The vegetables were a shining star lots of flavor, good variety and cooked al dente.
However the plate ran into trouble because the flavorful juicy vegetables were right next to the burger on the plate which by the time it was served made the burger bun soggy. It would be an easy fix to put the veg. in a ramekin. The fries were ok.
Overall, drinks and bar, service and Atmosphere A++++, 5 stars, but the foods was really disappointing.
