| - So many good things!! The atmosphere is amazing! Kudos to the decorators for creating such an inviting place!! The biscuits and butter served first are delicious - a great start to the meal. The wedge salad was delightful, but I could have done without the extra large wooden bowl that it came in - was somewhat awkward to maneuver. My spouse ordered the $45 duck burger and said that, while it was good, it was not $45 good. He was bummed that he did not order a steak. My scallops were AMAZING!! Perfectly cooked and the corn purée underneath was the perfect complement. We were too stuffed to try dessert.
The bad thing for us, was our table. We were seated upstairs in the far corner. Within minutes of us getting settled another table was seated right next to us. As is the unfortunate trend in many fine dining establishments, this table was WAY too close for comfort. To make it worse, the other side of our table was smack up against the server POS station. We spent our evening trying not to hear everything the couple next to us said and trying to avoid the "rear view" of the servers as they put their orders in. Not what you would call "romantic" at all.
The other "bad" for me was when the couple next to us left and the hostess came to clean the table. She cleared the plates, lifted the placemats, wiped the table and then put the DIRTY placemats back on the table - never wiped them off. As you can imagine, we found this a bit off-putting.
Being that oTW just opened on Wednesday, I know there are some kinks that still need to be worked out, and I will not let that stop me from returning!! The food was delicious and the atmosphere very welcoming. We are anxious to try a steak on our next visit!
