Decided to check out Bar Symon this week with some guests. My experience was an ok one at best. I found the service to be attentive but almost aggressive to get you to order your meals and when you were kind of almost done they kept coming by to try to grab your plate from you. It was a weekday night so I did not see the rush to turn tables since nobody was waiting to be seated.
We ordered the Chips with Artichoke for app - chips were overcooked almost burnt and the artichoke dip lacked flavor unless you found one of the hidden pieces of blue cheese inside then it was tasty! Lola fries were good and at $1 you could not beat them.
I ordered the Fried Chicken and was told it would change the way I saw fried chicken! She was correct, the batter they use is absolutely delicious BUT the chicken itself was a bit dry and strong tasting almost gamy. Overall not impressed with the chicken dish. My counterpart had the pork chop which was mediocre and the balance of the table had burgers which I am told were A+... Dessert menu needs work it is missing some key desserts that could win over diners. Sorbet was was not great only ate about 1/4 of the dessert and the Chocolate Cake was overdone we left about half of that as well (I don't normally leave any desserts on the table!)
Overall would go back to taste more of their extensive beer list which is very impressive and partake in some apps but meals not so much!
