| - I think the world has been brainwashed into a low bar of service, hence the many good reviews. This place is, at minimum, an argument for abolishing tipping. I agree with the reviewers regarding the service. We were handed menus, and before we could open them, we were asked what we wanted, as if the information had been magically downloaded into our heads.
Our waitress was equally robotic. She didn't try to sell us anything, talk about the craft beers, or pretend that we were helping to pay her check in any way,
So we ordered. The food was tasty enough, albeit overpriced. The beer, not as good Aces and Ales offers a better drink experience. My stout lacked the dimension and heartiness I expect, and its flavor was dull.
My friend ordered pastrami on sourdough. It came out on rye. The took it back to the kitchen and simply scraped it on to new toasted bread, losing half the sauerkraut in the process.
We boxed our own leftovers. Our waitress did come to us at the end, smiling, hoping everything was all right. It was--just all right. Definitely not worth the price tag.
At least it was a good night out with friends. We'll go elsewhere next time
