| - Stopped here for lunch with my BFF today.
Nowhere to park, forced to valet, meh...
Love the atmosphere here: classy decor, beautiful patio. Everything on the menu looked delicious. I had a hard time choosing between many foods that I love: crab cakes, goat cheese, crepes... I wanted something lighter so I ordered the oriental chicken salad. In the meantime, our drinks were brought to the table. BFF pulled the spoon out of her iced tea to find that there was some leftover peanut butter still on it. The question is: who left it there? Don't know. Gross. This was pointed out to a server (not ours because she had not returned to our table). Our server brought out a new iced tea. She was polite, but not necessarily apologetic.
When our meal was delivered to the table, BFF pointed out that there were tomatoes on her sandwich (she asked for no tomatoes). The server said that the other server probably grabbed the wrong plate. She came back from the kitchen twice to tell us that the new sandwich would be right out. So, I sat with my salad and waited to eat until BFF got her meal (It took a good 5-10 minutes for her new sandwich to come out).
BFF raved about the dressing on her side salad. My salad was fine, but nothing to rave about (especially not for $13). The ingredients were fresh but the "shredded chicken" that was described on the menu appeared to be sliced chicken breast. To be honest, I prefer shredded chicken which is why I had decided on that particular salad. DISAPPOINTING.
The server arrived at the table to ask if we wanted to order dessert. We replied, "no, thank you". And she said something like, "oh, come on, are you sure?". Again, we declined but I really think she should have offered us free dessert after our bummer lunch.
The topper? 1 valet guy and 6 people in line to pick up their cars=a 10 minute wait just to leave the place.
I would hesitate to come back, but that menu is just so damn tempting.
