| - I first learned of this place in Myrtle Beach. I passed by it on my way out of town thinking I would try it next time I was in Myrtle. On my way back to Charlotte, same trip, I happened to pass another restaurant in Monroe with the same name. After looking into it I found it was the same place and this was the second location. A couple of nights later I had the chance to stop by for dinner and here's what I have to say:
Its a cool looking place with a cool name, nice beer list and a fusion style menu. We walked into the restaurant that had a fountain display of taps pouring water into a vat - awesome! The beer list was displayed on a tv screen that changed every ten seconds. Pretty cool unless you needed more time to look at the page or forgot what you wanted to order. You were forced to wait for the screen you needed rotated back through. Regardless my wife and I ordered our beers and began the hunt for the perfect dish.
In the seemingly random menu of burgers, sushi and sandwiches we opted for some wings, nachos and a couple of sushi rolls. Our waitress comes by after giving us about five minutes to look at the menu and says "the bar is taking a while to get your beers ready so I came back to see if you were ready to order," so we did. After about another ten minutes or so I had to ask for our beers which were obviously forgotten. Our waitress apologized and rushed to bring them.
What seemed like a long while later our food arrived. We started with the two sushi rolls and I must say I was not disappointed. I actually enjoyed them. I finished my roll and moved to my wings and guess what...no blue cheese as ordered. No biggie because I had the nachos which were really good too. I will say this is the point I realize that our waitress was hard to catch up with. I think we waited about ten minutes, probably a little less but it seemed like a long time, to see her again and once we asked for the blue cheese it took another several minutes for her to return with it. I think my favorite thing were the wings. I ordered the how wings and the sauce was very zesty, a very, very slight sweet aroma but nothing I've ever had before. Kuddos to the saucier that created that masterpiece.
I gave this place two stars for the overall service alone. The waitress was a sweetheart but the delays, mix ups and feeling forgotten brought this group way down. BTY the water did not taste good at all. I'll give the the obligatory second chance...we shall see.
