| - After coming here one more time, I can pretty confidently say there isn't much that will bring me back. The deviled eggs are good, yes. And the burger I had was good, but nothing extraordinary. But, I think there's just something wrong overall here. I can't put my finger on what is exactly bringing the place down, but I can say what is causing trouble. The decor is weird, the food is lackluster, and the service isn't the best.
I feel like I'm in a confused restaurant. Does it want to be a sports bar (pool table and TVs) or does it want to have a low-key, focused-on-the-food atmosphere (dining tables and farmer's market art on the walls)?
Aside from the atmosphere, there's the service. The service I had the first time was good, the second time was a little lackluster, the third time was horrible. The bartender was busy flirting/socializing with some other customers and I got the wrong beer. Then I had to wait quite awhile for her to come back after getting distracted again. She just seemed like she was in a different world and didn't really care about us as customers.
Then there's the food. Aside from the eggs and burger being OK, there's the tofu mushroom "burger", which was actually really difficult to eat and lacked flavor. The truffle popcorn was pretty meh (popcorn is pretty much my favorite food and I can say I've made better). And the prix fixe menu on NYE wasn't nearly what I expected of this place.
So, to recap: the only thing I've REALLY liked here are the eggs, which I'm pretty sure I can make at home. Not a fan.
