| - UPDATED REVIEW: I have to start by saying that my girlfriend and I have eaten here at least twice a month since we moved to the area 5 months ago. And it's usually pretty stellar. Tonight was a major exception.
This was our go-to place to bring friends and family when they visit, but we have changed our minds for this Friday, when our family is coming to town.
We ordered the new ginger cocktail, which we have had a few times since our favorite Bramble has left the menu. This time, the drink left my mouth burning with straight fresh ginger. After getting an eye roll and a sigh from our server, we were able to exchange them for the Clover Club drink. We then ordered the Kobe Corndog, which is usually a great appetizer. This time, it was cold. Sigh. But the kitchen mistakes don't stop there. I ordered the bone marrow, which arrived RAW. I was then challenged to an argument by a server (Shane?) who told me that 'technically it is cooked through'. The nerve to tell me that my bleeding bone marrow is 'technically cooked'. He was then gracious enough to 'have the chef take a look at it for me' ?!? Are you kidding? I didn't come out to eat to have to argue over my date's shoulder and the loud music over something as simple as putting a bone back in the salamander. My girlfriend and I both work in jobs where customer service is a top priority, and it would be nice to think that we could expect the same when we come out to eat.
To top it all off, our server never once checked in on us, and was so timid she didn't even ask if we needed a dessert menu.
We are really dissapointed in our experience this evening, we will not be returning to this place for a while.
