| - Great interior. We had a large party, so unfortunately we did not get to sit at the "booth" tables that are actually couches. Our table was a little awkward. With people actually sitting in the seats it was a little difficult to for the waiters to walk behind us to the bar. Even though it was empty when we showed up, it took a lot of time for our drinks to be brought to the table and our waiter was a little bit absent. Mind you, these were two draft beers, one bottle, and a glass of wine and there was only one patron sitting at the bar. To our waiter's credit, though, a few others and I showed up an hour before the reservation so I don't think he was quite prepared. Draft list wasn't huge, but they had a few locals.
Unfortunately for us the oven they used for flat breads wasn't working. Usually this isn't a big deal, except for that virtually everything else on the menu had meat on it apart from salads. There was only one veggie entree, even though the entree list was expansive. I always find that to be super disappointing in restaurants like this that are trying to cater to youngish, trendy crowds. There were 2 vegetarians in our party of 7 and they had difficulty with the menu.
Brussel sprouts were awesome (had bacon), was not a fan of the truffle fries. The aoili didn't taste like anything at all, even though it was supposed to be bacon flavored. Not a bad taste, not a good taste, not an okay taste, just like nothing. I got the mahi + wheat berries. Mahi was just okay, but the wheat berries were awesome. They were served drenched in a glaze with cranberries and oranges. So, so good. Husband was not impressed with his pasta dish. It came out in a huge bowl but apparently it was more of a soup than a real entree.
This place is right by the convention center, and parking is terrible. We got there before 6, when rush hour restrictions were still in place, and were totally unable to park on the street. We ended up parking in the convention center's garage, which was convenient, but the garage was full by the time my sister got there after six and she also struggled to park.
Overall I would try this place again. My food was good enough, although the quality of the mahi could have been improved. My overall impression is that this place really wants to be trendy. They've put a lot of work into the interior, the cocktail list, many of the food items have bacon or buzzing grain items (like wheat berries!), but they really need to be putting more work into the quality of the food so that people will come back. If I went again and the food was the same quality there would not be a third visit.
