| - The staff was friendly, and that's about all I really have to say in a positive fashion. There is a new chef Mod, the restaurant has been remodeled and honestly it's just too strange for me for me now. The food is strange, the artwork is strange, and servers using orange skate boards as serving trays is certainly strange!
We ordered hummus and expected it to be served with pita bread, naturally. It was served with a paper thin brown cracker that tasted terrible. We asked for some bread to go with it instead and about ten minutes later they brought us some wheat rolls. Rolls??? Also dyed carrot slices on this appetizer - are they intended to be edible?
The short rib appetizer is good. But it is served with a lot of dry crunchy noodles, that you think you should eat because there are so many of them, but soon realize that was a mistake. Wanted to have some water to wash it down but my glass was empty. With dark, dark blue water glasses, how can a server tell you are low in the first place?
I mistakenly ordered what I thought was a "steak salad", and that's what I said when I ordered it. I received what the chef calls the streak dismantled, or dismembered, or something to that effect. It was pretty much that. Rare steak. Six croutons on the side and some other "stuff". Sent that back. Got street tacos and those were fine, but by this time we really just wanted to go.
We were clearly not pleased. The staff almost apologized to us and said "yeah, this is a little different menu now, sorry."
I can't recommend this restaurant, unless you really want to have something different for difference sake. I live in the neighborhood so I am disappointed I won't be back here, because it is a convenient location. At least, it was...
