| - I'm little bit disappointed with this place. Read further for details.
I wanted to visit this place for a long time. I had often attended Beck center and the restaurant was next to.
The welcoming staff was nice and helped us to find the table. The interior is modern/ industrial but I liked and felt comfy.
Ok, so here what I didn't like. Our waitress was Elaisa (maybe I spell wrong but sounded as "Elaisa"). The waitress wasn't probably in the mood because I couldn't call her attentive or even professional. She brought water, took order and then brought drinks. We ordered two cocktails that were covered with ice. Of course, ice started melt and we asked for cocktail napkins, and the waiter stated that the place don't have any cocktail napkins or covers for drinks. We were surprised with the answer, but didn't say anything. Next, she took our order and as always I do, I asked for dressing or sauces on the side. Suddenly I needed to listen 5 minutes talk how the chef didn't like the requests for substitutes, and that guests needed to be happy with the food bc all ingredients were needed in the way how they were- seriously? Just bring what I want or make some professional and polite statement without making people tired of listening when they want to have fun!lol
Food came fast enough because the place wasn't busy. I won't lie- food tasted week. Although my girlfriend disliked her appetizer- eggplant, I thought that asparagus and eggplant were fine. My fish and her steak were good too. By the way, while we were waiting for entrees, we saw guy sitting at the next table, and his drinks had...cocktail napkins. At the same time, another waiter asked if everything was good, and we repeated our request about napkins. The waiter was surprised that our waitress hadn't brought them before.
My verdict is that I liked the place and ambience. I disliked the waitress's attitude and the rule that I couldn't substitute the items. However, I may try the place one more time to have a better opinion.
