| - did you ever try a place a 2nd time because you thought maybe you were there on a bad night? yeah, we did & no, it wasn't a 1 time thing.
we went last year using a living social coupon for a tasting menu. the place is very intimate with a view of the kitchen & it's wood grill. we were excited because it seemed hopeful. for such a small place, we waited a while. that gave us time to notice the floor was crawling with ants & the rest of the time, we swatted fruit flies from our wine glasses & bottle. the waitresses were kinda snooty too, like we were a bother to take care of. all we remember of the food were the brussel sprouts. tom hates them, but when eating out, he tries everything. all we tasted was burnt wood, crunchy burnt wood. yuck!
so we tried again. there were 2 waitresses, 1 snooty, who wouldn't help us once we were seated, & a younger girl who seemed new. the nice girl brought some balsamic & oil for bread. she proceeded to pour the oil into tom's wine glass!!! it's a byob place! there was no replacing it. we ordered a meat plate & then 2 different pizzas. there was no real taste to the pizzas, & they're too pretentious to put out salt or pepper. all the portions are small. we had dessert. i got an apple bread pudding. it was dried out bread that tasted like....burnt wood!
we will never go back there again!
