| - The short version: Inconsistent, but a good time. Great beer selection.
The long version:
I want to love 1410. I really, really do.
See, I like it. I like it a lot! They've got good things going for them over there.
But as others have mentioned, service is maddeningly inconsistent here, mostly dependent on what time of day you arrive. For example:
Weekday lunch? Great service!
Weekend evening? Awful service!
The servers might creep the heck out of you the first time you come because here it's totally protocol for them to shake your hand, introduce themselves and ask your name.
Now, I'm guessing somewhere a study was done that showed that when a good looking waitress shakes the hand of a lonely male patron, her increase swells right along with his pants. And don't get me wrong, I'm a people person. I LOVE meeting people, especially cute waitresses. But this just feels really fake to me; an obvious ploy at faking me into believing the service was actually better than it was.
Well, try, try again 1410, because I'm on to you! Want to impress me, babes of 1410? Instead of shaking my hand, just bring me that drink I asked for within 10 minutes of ordering it. Also, write your number on my receipt with a winky face.
Too ambitious?
But I digress. The management here is actually great about meeting patrons and I've been treated to drinks from staff here a few times (thanks to who I was with), so it's tough to complain.
The food here is a highlight but can be just as inconsistent as the service, unfortunately.
Sometimes you get an incredible meal that feels like it was prepared just for you by some sort of European Oma in a bavarian kitchen. Other times you get the sense your dish was churned out of a puppy-mill style kitchen.
The flatbreads range from "oh lord put this in my mouth and never take it away" to "blah." The meatball flatbread is just okay - their mexican one ruled my world. Burgers are great - nominated for best burgers for a reason. Sandwiches are delicious.
The beer selection is great; lots of great brews on tap and seasonals in stock. Not as good as Bottlescrew Bill's, but close - and with a livelier atmosphere if you're into that. I sipped an Erdinger Weiss, chatted up a neighboring table and watched the game.
I guess people dance here sometimes - I've never seen it. I didn't even know there WAS a dance floor. But if you're into that, I guess it's safer than shaking it on top of their highly elevated tables.
So all in all, 1410 just needs to step up their consistency to improve my review. For now, it's just too inconsistent to award full points.
