| - Was very excited for this place to open - and it is still only a few weeks old. so I hope it improves. It's a beautiful space with a great looking menu. The people working there are all very nice. The problem I had was with our food and service quality on two occasions (dinner and lunch). Unfortunately, when you've got a negative experience it really takes over as the main thing you think of when recalling your meal. The following stand out moments:
-Both occasions food taking longer than it should (nothing unusual ordered here: stew, a steak, chicken sandwich)
-Both occasions had to send back food (Dinner: two plates of steak not hot. Came back out with little improvement.)
-Steak was supposed to prepared to just under medium-rare, but came out more medium-well.
-Dirty plates not being cleared from table (at a two-top, so there wasn't much room)
-Had an interaction where the wrong side-dish was brought out with my sandwich, and instead of just bringing out the correct side, the server wanted to take away my sandwich to re-plate. I said, no, I'm hungry, please just bring out the new side, I'll eat the sandwich (I don't imagine they were going to re-use these fries). She was very reluctant to this solution (which seemed reasonable to me)
-Chicken Sandwich bun reminded me of wonder-bread (I'm sure it wasn't...but) and was thinking about how delicious a nice milk bun would have been instead.
Things that stood out in a good way:
-Everything on the menu looks like it should be delicious
-The space is well designed for groups in for a meal or just a 1-2 at the bar or in a small booth. It also looks great.
-Expansive and nice looking patio
-Good spot for a late night drink
-The elements of the meals that weren't messed up tasted great. Kale, fries, olives, side salad, all delicious.
I would love to go back for a drink (which were all reasonably priced) but would probably hesitate ordering a full meal until I hear a few positive reviews from friends.
