Service: 5 stars
Food: 2 stars
Cocktails: 3 stars
I feel bad leaving a 3 star considering how attentive the staff were. Not only did the manager come to check on us but so did the chef. I didn't have the heart to tell him how bad the food was. I'm sorry to say it was terrible.
We ordered a bunch of appys. Two types of the tacos, and the blue cheese bacon corn fritters.
The tacos were ruined by their choice in tortilla. They used these thick wheat sugary highly processed crap tortillas. It ruined the whole dish. The meat was good, but not wrapped in that. The corn fritters were burnt. Not just a little over cooked wither, I am talking black balls covered in blue cheese and bacon. Had I not missed lunch and not just gotten off a flight starving I would have sent them back. Again I feel bad for not saying anything but I was a little worried about hurting the chefs feelings; he did personally come out to say hi after all. With that we quickly finished our drinks, skipped dessert, and left for another bar.
Cocktails were okay, but lacked any real craft. They were simple stuff I could make at home myself, and they didn't make their own syrups with fresh herbs like I would have expected from a place with handcrafted in the name. The Gimlet I had was very average. I make mine with St. George Spirits Terroir Gin and homemade rosemary basil infused simple syrup. So my expectations may have been a tad high.
