| - I really want to like this 131, yet at the same time why should I care? The last couple of times I've been my experience has been subpar. Plus, the interior just has an odd feel...maybe it's me. The location is great, but the setup seems odd and the place has never been busy when I've gone. Anyway...
When this place is on, it's pretty damn solid. I recommend sitting outside or at the cocktail tables in the bar. I'm no southern boy and, therefore, not a cornbread fan, but this place does something unreal with it. I order it every time. Drizzle the honey on it and....mmmmm. Try the awesome roast beef sandwich (I never recommend roti de beouf, but here I make an exception). The steak salad and the ahi tuna salad are both on-point; I'm a sucker for noodles, mango, avocado...etc. These are entree size portions, not your run-of-the-mill wimpy salad with a slab o' meat on it.
As I mentioned earlier, however, I just haven't been impressed the last couple visits. A subpar veggie burger and a stale roll on my roast beef sandwich...seriously hard as a rock. Service was slow and didn't seem genuine, which doesn't make sense when the place is nearly empty. I don't know why this location struggles so. Will someone enlighten me? It never looks busy when I walk by either.
All that said, I recommend the Cornelius or Ballantyne locations over this one, which is too bad considering this one definitely has the best location.
