| - Well... let's start with the "look" This place is big, feels like a barn, only industrial looking with accents that look out of place.
The Staff... very young and unpolished. Obviously, it's there first job "waitering" and it shows in the greeting, mood, and lack of experience. Lack of Attentiveness and no concern given to customer service.
Drinks... forget about ordering a cocktail, you will be served sporadically (I mean come on, if 7 people are there, why not deliver and server drinks all at the same time) some of us were served our cocktail 30 minutes after ordering and received during the meal. Also, for $10 for a cosmo, how can you get it wrong... I mean come on, if you have the b@lls to charge $10, you better get it bang on or your opening yourself up to be criticized.
We ordered as a starter, Calamari... they were rubbery and greasy. Most places get it wrong, but this place really got it wrong. If you tried Marvins back in the day, you will know what I mean (now, even Marvin gets the standard industrial looking cuts of calamari instead of the fresh stuff).
Mains... The 8 Oz Sirloin cut was a complete 0. Tough, grainy and very fibery cut of beef. If you could UN_Tenderize a cut of beef, this Chef has the recipe lol. OMG, it was unchewable. I am being serious. Fish and Chips was very greasy on the batter, and came with greasy thin string cut fries that were all about 1 - 1 1/2 inches in length (just weird, since they were crammed in a mini frier looking decorative basket that was 4 x 4 x 5 inches in length. I am too believe they do not heat there frier oil high enough so the oil soaks into the batter instead of cooking and sealing the batter pours (which by cooking this way, prolongs the frier oil instead of frying at higher temperatures to produce less greasy food). Pizza Margherita was very commercial tasting dough and sauce, but it did have fresh sliced tomatoes on top, not enough to mask the dough and sauces non freshness. Chicken was the best of the bunch, but if Your hungry the portion is quiet small so you better order two if you didn't get served bread (We had to ask for bread 2x to receive it once, and asked many times during the meal for water refill) and if you didn't order any starters.
Pass on this place, mildly expensive, poor effort across the board. Bottom line, even the owner seemed like one of those employees who doesn't want to be there types. No hello or thank you when leaving the restaurant (he was standing at the front desk, while an employee was taking a reservation on the phone).
I gave the minimum tip as a courtesy. Nobody asked why we didn't eat our sirloin, nobody even asked if everything was okay, nobody cared to smile or say hello nor thank you... oh well.
