Let me start by saying our waitress Mandi was absolutely awesome and I give her 5+ stars! She was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I absolutely love the atmosphere here as well. Awesome booths, awesome décor and cool bar area. I had a cup of tomato bisque for an appetizer. The flavor was very good but it had more the consistency of a salsa or marinara. Pretty chunky for a soup but flavor was good. I also had the mussels and they were very good but the bread that came with them was not very good. Extremely crunchy and kind of crumbled into dust as I ate it. Good bread is a must for the mussels dish to sop up all of the amazing sauce! I also had one of their signature drinks which was delicious but strangely tasted (and felt) like it had no alcohol in it....weird???....but still delicious.
The main reason I give only 3 stars is the bread and the host staff. When I got there, there were about 4 young people standing at the hostess station having a great conversation but didn't seem to notice, or care that I had walked in (OK, I'm no Jennifer Lopez so I guess I can't blame them LOL!). Luckily I spotted my friends and proceeded to our table. But when our party of 3 left, still there were at least 4 people at the front door host station but no acknowledgement whatsoever, or "thank you" for coming in....oblivious.
I will definitely try this place again as it has a great vibe and atmosphere.
