Let me start with the food. The meal started off fine with a salad of beets, greens and goats cheese. The deviled eggs from a variety of fowl was more like hard boiled eggs then deviled eggs. Lamb chops had a nice flavor but came out before they had the chance to settle. Fish over couscous was a disaster. Conceptually the dish was suppose to be freshly cooked hot fish over cold couscous - this was verified by the server. I don't see how this is a good idea because when you combine a hot element with a cold element you just get lukewarm, especially when one is piled on top of the other. The fish was actually lukewarm because of a mistake in the kitchen.
Despite having a reservation the flustered server at the door asked us to check out the restaurant's attached shop. It was quite a while before the server greeted our table. Everything was fine until we waited over 35 minutes between the starters and entrees. It is painfully obvious that the fish dish was cooked before the kitchen realized they forgot to fire the lamb chops. Instead of re-cooking the fish the kitchen decided to send it out cold along with the sizzling chops.
Upon sending the dish back the server asked if we'd like anything else. After explaining to her that I did not wish to prolong an unsatisfactory experience she sent over what appeared to be another server. The gentlemen asked if there was anything else we would like and I just asked for the bill. He barked at me 'there is no bill tonight' and quickly walked away without saying anything else or allowing me the opportunity to say anything else. An awkward night ended with a quick good bye and lots of laughs in the car.
