| - I have been to the Smallman Galley a few times now, and it pains me to write what follows. I initially went to the Yelp Event, and absolutely loved this place. I was very excited to come back and try this place again with my family. When we came back we got a table and everyone split up to choose their own meals.
I settled on the Chili and Toast, my Fiancee got the Squash Grilled Cheese. My dad had wanted to get the Chicken Pot Pie, but when he went to place his order the guy said he wasn't taking anymore orders at the moment. This was unerstandable to a degree since it was incredibly crowded. So my dad waited a little more than half an hour, he went back up and was again told they weren't taking any orders. So he went to another station and got Potato Skins. And my mom got Carrot Soup and a salad.
I thought my chili and toast tasted AMAZING and personally left very happy. But that is unfortunatley not the experience of everyone in my party.My Fiancee's first Squash Grilled Cheese came out extremely burnt, as in all you could taste was the burnt bread. She had to take it back and ask for a new one. They brought out a new one, and were very apologetic. So they do get points for good customer service, but someone looked at that sandwich and still sent it out, which never should have happened. The sandwich was also served with a side of Pickled Celery. Sometimes people try too hard to be creative and it tastes pretty terrible.
My Parents enjoyed what they got, but it just didn't really all seem to flow so smoothly. The bar is probably the best in the city, but it is extremely cramped. Of course to a certain degree being an incubator, they have 18 months to sink or swim. And in that 18 months you are bound to witness some sinking ships.
