| - I ate here a week or so after they opened. We are happy to finally have a place in the neighborhood that has a "different" and innovative menu! It's bright and fresh inside.
We had the shrimp corn dogs appetizer. Excellent accompanied by a spicy dipping sauce. you only get 4 though, so not necessarily for sharing unless you just want a couple bites. I got the wild boar and thought it was fantastic and a nice sized serving. My dinner mate got the flat iron steak and I had a bite and it was tender and cooked to perfect medium rare.
Most entrees are priced in the $20s, which I am happy to pay for good food. Salads are ala carte. My biggest complaint....NO bread! We asked, and our server told us they didn't serve it. Maybe this has changed since we were there? Our bill with a drink and 2 desserts was $80. Like I said, I don't mind paying for good food, but if I'm going to have an $80 bill, plus tip, give me a darn basket of good bread, or include a salad. It pains me when a good restaurant skimps on something like that. And oh how wonderful a good piece of bread to sop up the delicious sauce that my boar was braised in would have been!
Service was pretty good except for a couple of little things. I got an iced tea which was brought to me but without any sweetener, so I had to ask. It was also brought to me without a spoon to stir it with (they only give you a knife and fork at your place setting). So, even though I was stirring my sweetener into my tea with my butter knife when the waitress brought our appetizer, she still did not bring a spoon. Alas, a knife works fine. The only other thing to mention was that I asked if you could sub a different side dish than what was stated to come with your dinner, she said "yes, some things, but there might be an up charge". But she did not ask what I might have wanted to change so she could go check on it. Like I said, little things, but notable. But she was attentive and provided good service throughout.
I am looking forward to going back to try again....love the menu!
