Maybe some locations just have bad kharma and are not meant to succeed....like a cold spot in a haunted house, this place just kind of makes me uncomfortable. Bad feng shui perhaps - or maybe it was the nasty food, drinks and slow service. I am really not sure.
When I heard the beautiful story of the chef, taking his crew from a franchise to his own start-up restaurant, every dot-com bone in my body wanted to enjoy this place!
The service was slow and inattentive - even though the place was pretty empty. Camille H did a great job of describing our food - I, however, would put up a good umbrella stick fight about ordering the polenta with cold shredded chicken ever again. I still have to fight the gagging reflex every time I think of that soupy substance they tried to pass off as hummus. The ceviche was good, but the crackers were not.
I won't go back.
