| - Stumbled across this place when I went to the Knights game on Saturday. It used to be Threes. My friends mentioned its predecessor before, but I didn't get to visit before they closed for "renovations." By renovations I guess it also meant a slight change in name. Without visiting the "before," I cannot make proper comparison to the former, but I am guessing it's a lot alike in atmosphere.
After a night of baseball, I found myself hungry for some real food. It was late, after 10pm, and I was glad to find them still serving the full menu. The bartender also served as our waiter. And quite honestly I didn't expect much of a service considering the time. And with that being said, service was still adequate. We got our water, the food order was taken and all came out correctly, can't complain.
Could the service be better? Yes. Bartender seemed to be a lot more friendlier with the gents sitting at the bar (looking to be regulars). There were waitstaffs eating their dinner at the table next to us, which is fine to me (Chinese folks do that at chinese restaurants all the time) but I found a little odd for an American establishment. When I asked our waiter about the place, whether this is the same owner or not, he sounded a little agitated. Lastly, when I asked about the bottomless mimosas my friends used to praise about (when it used to be Threes), I could hear that smart-arzz tone when he answered "No, because people would just sit here all day."
(In case you're not really reading: NO MORE BOTTOMLESS MIMOSA on Saturdays, and they are CLOSED on Sundays)
Good thing is the food was more than enough to make up for what's lacking. I ordered a cup of the She Crab Soup ($4), which was EXCELLENT. It was rich, and I thought the use of masago on top was very smart, and I appreciated a small amount of lump crab on top. To keep it light, I had the Oyster Salad ($11-12), which came with 6 fried oysters with a small mountain of spinach. But the yummiest part was at goat cheese fondue at the bottom. I'm not a goat cheese fan. The strong taste can sometimes ruin a dish, but the spread they put on the plate was simply amazing. It was light & a hint of sweetness, which offset the strong goat cheese flavor.
My +1 had the Salt Seared Tendeloin ($26). The steak was cooked well. It's quite sizable as well (I believe it was a 8oz portion). But the sauteed spinach & mashed potatoes were overly seasoned with salt, which coming from me says alot (I'm a sodium person).
The quality of the food was definitely above my expectation. The price wasn't too bad either (especially after my Fahrenheit experience, heck, everything else seems like a bargain). I will come back again, and hopefully it will not disappoint.
