I usually try not to judge a restaurant on their Summerlicious menu and service. This is an exception.
Ambiance - MTK is a beautifully designed restaurant - inside and out. Inside is airy and spacious. Outside is bordered by a beautiful garden and expansive patio umbrellas. It's an upscale casual place.
Service - Everyone is nice. However, everyone is not fast. Being seated? Fast. Being served? Ehhhhh. We waited for our mains, desserts, refills, and bill. When it's a lunch during a work week, we don't have the luxury of time per se. To be fair, our server was nice despite having to work in a heat wave.
Food - Did I love my food? Nope. Did I enjoy it? For the most part, yes. Note: I'm describing the food as I experienced it. Restaurant descriptors are always so enhanced.
1st course - tomato goat cheese arugula salad. This was yum.
2nd course - pulled pork hash with beans and a sunny-side egg in a cast iron skillet. It was okay. It was hard to differentiate the components of the dish. It was essentially a mash of everything.
3rd course - honey cake with strawberry rhubarb compote, toasted oat sprinkles, and whipped cream. This was also yum.
Side note about the food: My friend's fish tacos were ridiculously small. He only got two of them and the fish were TINY. Definitely a ripoff.
Value - $20 plus tax and tip. More than what I'd usually spend on a work lunch. I'm on the fence on whether this meal was worth it or not. I don't know if I'll come back here for Summerlicious.
Overall - It's a solid OK. Lovely space. Decent food. Service is a bit slow.
