| - Not terribly impressed. I made a reservation for 3 on Open Table. I got there, gave my name, and was seated. First impression was ok. It's a nice space and they did a beautiful renovation. However, I felt like diners were being people watched by the front desk staff because they are RIGHT THERE. For some reason, my Open Table reservation was subsequently cancelled, which I didn't find out until checking my emails later. 100 points I missed out on and I'm not sure why. There were only 2 other occupied tables and a handful of bored looking people at the bar. So there shouldn't have been confusion.
Anywho, we ordered drinks, which were all pretty tasty. For a shared app, we got the waffle fries. Definitely get those, they're good times. As for entrees....yeah. I ordered the Crab BLT and regret it to this day. You know what bacon CAN'T make better? Alfalfa sprouts, that's what. They were just stringy and gross. My two girlfriends ordered the Shrimp Scampi and the Scallops. Both had to be sent back to the kitchen for being too cold. Our waitress was sweet, but she continued to disappear. I'm unsure if it was her or the kitchen. What I do know is that they took the plates, microwaved them (or whatever they do) and sent them back out. That's a terrible thing to do to delicate seafood like shrimp and scallops. Thankfully, they weren't terribly affected. The scallops came with "Ohio City Pasta" which turned out to be ravioli. Strange choice. Best thing about the meal was the dessert. Cassata cake and it was pretty tasty. No Baraonas, but it will do. If you're a drinker, get the Triple. That was so darn good, I had to take a picture of the menu!
All in all, it's overpriced and service was lacking. Lovely space, but valet parking was hella expensive even with validation. It was a Thursday and I paid $20! Can't say that I'll be back.
