| - "Inconsistent" is the best word I can use to describe this place. I've had great experiences, but I've also had some pretty terrible ones. Sometimes the service is great....other times, not so much. It doesn't seem to matter how busy it is, either. I've had great service on nights when it's packed, and terrible service when there were only three other people in the place.
I will say the food has always been good. The steak/bleu cheese quesadilla is delicious, and the pizza wasn't bad either. They have a pretty good beer selection too, and if you order a standard drink from the bar (gin and tonic, whiskey on the rocks, etc) the prices are very reasonable, as are the generous portions.
But here's where I run into trouble. Last time I was in here I ordered a whiskey and St. Germain on the rocks. I understand that maybe people don't order this combo very often, but after getting stared at cross eyed by both the server and the bartender I basically had to do everything short of pour it myself. I ended up having two of them, but when I got the bill the bartender charged me for four separate drinks: two whiskeys and two St. Germains. Really? Is that how it works? Maybe I don't go to bars enough, but that doesn't seem right to me. So if I ordered two White Russians, would I be charged for six drinks? Two vodkas, two khaluas, and two glasses of milk? No thanks.
I really wish this place could get it's act together because I very much want to like it. I love the location, it's got a great patio, and it would be a nice place to just sit back and relax. The problem is that you never know what you're going to get when you walk in. If you're curious, I'd say yeah, check it out. Just be prepared that there's a 50/50 chance of it being terrible.
