| - overall, this was a pretty unimpressive, and almost downright deeply disappointing experience. went on a recommendation of a friend. got there, the decor was *almost* on point, but things not quite right. like, pulled from the pages of trend-orama magazine, but literally pulled, nothing there seemed put together organically all these different styles and colors and stuff put together because it *should* look good together. like, if it were clothes, it would be like buying the designer labels without actually having any style to put it together.
i digress, but walking in honestly put me off a bit and made me feel like it could be a denny's in disguise. however i gave it a shot. menu was interesting, kind of really disjointed, but DID have a lot of veggie options which was good.
had a lot of different worlds going on - thai dishes, crepes (french), cous cous, good ol' shepards pie and the like. how can one restaurant excel in all of these things? well, quite frankly it can't. and they proved it.
i ordered the shrimp, scallop and crabmeat crepe with a champagne sauce and it was cold. cold as ice. why would seafood be cold if they just cooked it? where was the champagne sauce? the crepe was tiny, and flavorless, and the seafood was flavorless, and the sauce non-existent. i could've been eating my napkin and had the same taste sensation. other app ordered, goat cheese on crostini- a friend got this and crostini wasn't toasted and it had too much goat cheese on it. such a simple offering- how can you mess that up?
sadly, service was amost as bad as food. the fellow who waiting on us was very nice, however, the restaurant was empty, and we never got a drink refill once. never got out plates picked up and generally sat around waiting for him for a total of about 1hr longer than we should've (or WANTED) to be there.
sad, disappointing - food, ambiance, service, this place struck out in all three.
