| - DON'T BOTHER ~ YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND IT ANYWAY WITH THEIR SIGN REVERSED AND UNREADABLE!
I don't who wrote these other reviews, but I think they were written by insiders or employees.
Went on a Friday night at 7:30 & there was hardly anyone there... A table of 4 & a table of 6 were quickly seated after we got there.
The decor is nice but has a strange room at the far end of the restaurant that is a half glass wall with a bunch of TV's & seating.
After a while it occurred to me as to why this room looked so strange... It was just like what you'd see in an upscale hotel, especially for a wedding party, banquet, meeting administrators, etc...
That's when everything else made sense... such as: getting the menu.
It was printed on a cheap piece of paper & the menu items were very limited but PRICEY!!
Salads were $13 not including $6 for chicken (if you want it added).
Sandwiches were all starting at $13 and the entrees were starting at $18.
All the meals come by itself & the "sides" are all extra, starting at $8.00!
After we sat there for 10 min. finally this guy cautiously approached us & stood about 10 feet from our table & after an awkward pause he asked us if we were being helped?
Really weird!
We asked what draft beer he recommended... ALL OF THEM, he says... again, really strange.
We ordered the kale citrus salad ($8.00) & enchiladas ($20) w/ an extra plate as we were going to share.
Again, we asked the waiter what dish was most popular & he responds with EVERYTHING is GOOD!! ... okay you're really helpful.
After about 20 more minutes we flagged down the waiter & asked if our salad was coming out anytime soon? He said (I kid you not), I was going to bring it out with the entree!!
Thankfully our salad came out but then the "shock" set in. The waiter brought out a huge plate with this 4 inch diameter bowl w/ about 3 oz of salad in this tiny bowl.
I was so shocked I immediately asked him if this was our salad? he replies, Oh Yes!
I then asked him if this was the $8.00 salad and he just stares at me... (another awkward pause)... then he asks me if I want to talk to the manager?
I just gave up & said no. Obviously this was not a mistake and there was no reason for me to go on and complain about it ...
We each picked up our fork and ate (maybe) 3 small bites each of salad & it was gone.
Just then the enchiladas were brought out on another large platter/plate.
Again shock set in.
They were the smallest enchiladas I've ever seen and there were 3 of them on this huge plate.
The tortilla shells were a little bigger than a street taco size but not quite big enough for a larger taco traditionally found in mexican restaurants.
They were extremely hard & very difficult to cut through with a knife. My initial bite was lukewarm with the shell being extremely hard & the inside meat being almost cold.
It was supposed to be tri-tip but it was not!! (we know steak meat) ... plus there was hardly any meat in the enchilada.
There was sauce on top which was absolutely disgusting.
It was obvious this was some kind of wine sauce but the wine had not been reduced correctly so the sauce was absolutely bitter & inedible.
My husband & I were so shocked by the total experience that we weren't paying attention to what was going on around us.
The table of 6 had just left after a bit of a commotion. My husband observed that the man at the head of the table asked to speak to the manager & then the whole table got up & left, leaving 6 meals almost untouched.
We don't know if they paid or had a family emergency or what, but it seemed very strange.
Right about then, I happened to notice the 4 people sitting near us & all of their food that had come out at the same time as our enchiladas were all in doggy bags!
Now they were leaving.
After our experience with the ridiculously small portions and poor taste, I would venture to say we weren't the only ones EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in this pretty expensive meal.
Now everything made sense... the owners must be ex-hotel restaurant owners where you have captured customers that will pay a high price for under-sized portions.
Needless to say I will NOT be back nor will I be recommending this place to anyone.
