| - I was torn between 3 and 4 stars for this, as the food was rather good (3.5-4 stars) but service was lacking on a Friday night.
The good: The chevre was DELICIOUS. I would order this again in a heartbeat, and I don't frequently repeat orders. The chicken with fried green tomatoes was good as well.
The meh: The "Three Little Pigs" was underwhelming. I'm a big fan of pork, but this wasn't really up to the high standards set by Sonoma Grill's "Study of Hog."
The bad: We managed to secure a day-of reservation, which I understand is rare, but they had 3 tables in the same section with the same server all supposed to be seated at the same time. This led to rather poor service--some table has to get shafted, and it was us, which was especially frustrating as we were the first to show up. First, the waitress goes over the menu, tells us they have one duck entree left, and promises to return. She then goes over to another table to greet them, but apparently they were instantly ready to order as the proffered duck was no longer available. We order alternatives, and then sit while both of the other tables are brought tasty-looking bread. Twenty minutes in, and we're about to devour our napkins, when she brings over our apps (first time she's stopped back since we ordered). We ask why we didn't receive bread, and we get an "oops" from her. Water refilling was similarly slow, and service overall put a damper on the meal.
I'll come back for the BYOB, but with lower expectations for service. At time of writing, corkage is $1/bottle for beer, $5/bottle for the first bottle of wine and $2.50 thereafter.
