| - Had a date night here last week and was expecting something similar to Carson's Kitchen or eat but I was pretty disappointed.
I was surprised that the place wasn't too busy - it was 7:30. Maybe that's too early? I'm not sure. Anyway, the minute we sat down it all pretty much went to shit.
Our waitress started out nice but by the end of the meal - I'm so sorry to say - she was beyond overbearing. In fact, the staff felt overbearing. The waitress came to us four different times in a matter of 10 minutes to ask if we decided what we wanted. It was our first time and we were still looking over the menu. Finally the final time, instead of asking for a couple more minutes, she hovered over us until we ordered. When she asked if we wanted alcohol and we said no, she rolled her eyes. I looked over at the bartender who seemed pretty bored so I figured she's just trying to give him something to do. We told her we aren't drinking at the moment yet she continued to offer us alcohol for the duration of our meal. Even with dessert.
Our dishes slowly started coming out one by one and for each dish our waitress thought it would be cool to explain, in detail, the different ways that people eat them and two times even talked to us for an annoyingly three minutes straight on her personal life and her son and past customers, etc. I appreciate the enthusiasm (for lack of a better word), but we are really just trying to have a date night and talk. I don't need to hear about your son's birthday experience in full detail. And OMG, not to mention that you take two sips of your water and someone IMMEDIATELY comes to refill your glass. After a while it was just a distraction. I drink a lot of water which meant that every couple minutes - literally COUPLE of minutes - someone came by and interrupted to fill the glass. Not once was my glass half empty and it became such a distraction because they were also constantly walking by to get to a table near you and this place isn't even big.
The food was blah. The Brussels sprouts salad was way too dressed, the "spicy" pork rinds literally tasted like cheetos except on a pork rind instead of a chip (complete with orange stained fingers) and it wasn't spicy at all. The popcorn ice cream was good but I was hoping that the bread the ice cream was in was warm - something on that plate should've been warm. The only dish I enjoyed was the gnocchi. For the prices I will not be coming back to this place. I didn't enjoy myself.
