| - Apparently all the positive reviews were written by friends and family,
Hopelfully blunt honesty will make the owners make the right changes before its too late.
OK this isn't going to be pretty. I'll start by stating I did have a restaurants.com coupon for $50 and had to spend $100, call me cheap, so what. Let's get to the facts most really good restaurants don't use coupons, there is a few exceptions to the rules every now and then.
I'll start on the seating, we were seated at the table near the bathroom entrance. I requested to be moved to another of the many empty tables, of course they were not available They remained empty for the first hour, we had a 7:30 reservation. Seriously on a Saturday night?
The waitress finally showed up to take our drink order after 10 minutes of waiting. The place was dead only about 5 tables in the whole place and at least 6 waitstaff wandering around.
The order
Appetizers
1. SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP fried green tomatoes, sweet and spicy chili sauce...9
Shrimp typical grilled shrimp, nothing special. Fried green tomatoes, someone please tell me why? Tasteless vegetable, covered in cornmeal with no seasoning....
2. DEEP SOUTH SAMOSAS crawfish, chipotle cream...8
Must of ran out and went to the nearby China Wok and got some crab Rangoon, wait it would of been a larger portion. This was bad its basically fried won tons stuffed with about a half a teaspoon of cream cheese filling completely devoid of crawfish flavor.
3. CRAB CAKE mango butter sauce, pineapple relish...12
This was the best of the whole meal, basic simple recipe, however it came out room temperature, it was very bland but good crab flavor.
Main Course
4. FILET pan roasted Yukon potatoes, patty pan squash, Coca-Cola demi...27
High hopes on this one, let me state this was cooked perfectly. I must of missed the Coca-Cola demi glaze. I actually thought it was covered in sweet teriyaki sauce, not a fan too sweet.
5. SURF AND TURF lamb porterhouse, diver sea scallops, vanilla risotto, red wine reduction...29
Lamb cooked well flavor once again fair.
Scallops, 2 total about the size of a quarter and completely raw (see picture) We sent it back and it took 15 minutes to get them back and barely any better.
SERVER TIP:
If you see plates of food and nobodys eating, you should ask is every thing is OK
Oh wait she didn't care see was getting 20% regardless of we enjoyed are meal.
6. APPLE TURNOVERS roasted apple wrapped in phyllo, cinnamon and rum ice cream, chocolate, caramel sauce...6
Go to Arbys you'll get better flavor crust filling etc.......
7. ESPRESSO CRÈME BRULEE chocolate cigar...6
Really? you didn't see the top was burnt when you torched the top too much!
8. BLONDE BROWNIE Dirty Girl Scout ice cream...6
Pass again
Final
The restaurant is beautiful and has lots of potential
If you have an open kitchen your team should look professional, 2 guys had Chicago bulls hat and one a doo rag? Just didn't look professional.
Special of the Day? More wait staff training?
