| - I've been looking forward to this place for a while. I have mixed feelings, but overall it was a good meal. Overall I'd say 3.5 stars. We had a few drinks, a few apps, and a few entrees. The "punch" drink wasn't great, but the bourbon whatever was on point. We tried lettuce wraps(awesome) risotto(4*, didn't love the cantaloupe "dressing") flat iron steak(5*) & chicken(5*).
Pros:
Good food. The chimichurri sauce for the flatiron steak was amazing. The chicken almost had to be sous vide; most tender chicken I've had to date.
I actually appreciate the fact that you can't choose a temperature for your meat. Frankly, I don't care if you like your steak well done. You are incorrect, good sir or madam, and you should go to a crap diner if you enjoy inferior cooking techniques.
Cons:
Stupid chalkboard menus upstairs. Looks, I'm all about sustainability, but if you're going to do a chalkboard menu, make it visible. I could only read 1/2 the menu because people were sitting in front of it, so I had to ask about everything, and/or walk over to the other menu. Print a damned menu; paper costs next to nothing, and you can recycle it and get paid.
A bit pretentious: I don't care for how the menu is written; the food is great, but I don't like how the item is highlighted; e.g. "Vodka:" "Rum:" "Squab:" etc.
It's worth going. Seriously though, I beg of you, don't sit upstairs.
