| - I wish I could give 2.5 stars.
I both live and work in the Flats and know all the restaurants here well. Although I liked this place the first time I came (which is why it's getting three and not two starts), it is definitely not one of my favorites.
My first dinner experience here in November was great. Our table (of four) shared the brie as an appetizer and we all really enjoyed that, although I just checked and it doesn't look like it's on the menu anymore. I had a sangria to start and was so-so on it - I didn't hate it, but I doubt I would order it again. My husband and I then split either a salad with tomatoes and burrata (not currently on the menu either), and despite the cheese overload, really loved that too. For dinner I had the lobster gnocchi and thought it was really good. We had wine with dinner and there was a good selection of bottles (I don't recall how the by-the-glass selection was).
The next time we came for dinner in January I was not super impressed. We had the raclette to start (also not on the current menu), which was good, but way too much for just two of us. While I debated going with the lobster gnocchi a second time (I wish I had...) I went with the scallops, which were prepared differently then. They were SO salty I contemplated sending them back. I didn't because I didn't want to be "that" person, so I guess I only have myself to blame. Anyway, service was so-so that time, so overall it (literally and figuratively) left a bad taste in my mouth.
Finally, a couple weeks ago I got lunch here to go - and this was strike two. I ordered a pick two combo and got the caprese sandwich and kale salad. The caprese sandwich really wasn't that bad, it was just strange... I swear it was served on Texas toast, which is just so odd. Do they not have focaccia? Or something else that doesn't look like a fifth grader's lunch? Also, I swear they used canned tomatoes. I get that tomatoes are not in season right now, but maybe that means this shouldn't be on the menu? As for the salad - I do not eat meat so I asked for it without pancetta. The bartender rang it in properly (it showed up "no pancetta" on the receipt), but I guess someone wasn't paying attention in the kitchen. Sure enough, it had plenty of pancetta in it, which I didn't realize until I made it back to my office. Luckily I work in the EY Tower, so I called down and asked them to remake it, which they graciously did.
I will give this place one more shot, so at this point I wouldn't recommend NOT going here, but I also think there are better options in the Flats.
