  • After seeing the reviews of this new restaurant, I wanted to give it a try. When I pulled up, I was surprised to see that I had been here before. Apparently, Slate used to be another upscale restaurant I believe it was called Cafe Giorgio which was "famous" for their chicken whitford (?) . Well, there are new owners now and, much to the disappointment of my dinning companions, they weren't willing to give the whitford a shot. However, the menu did have some interesting and equally alluring selections. I chose to go with the pork mignon.The menu stated that the pork was topped with flat iron apple and apricot/orange rosemary glaze. I didn't really taste much of the apple and feel that it might have been better served in a chutney form. Also to note, in addition to the no substitutions rule, they have a very limited selection for sides. A starch du jour and a veggie du jour. You can get 1 starch and 1 veggie or two of either. I chose one of each which happened to be Yukon gold mashed pots and a carrot, broc, cauli mix. The sides were really basic for me. Nothing special about them. This is what I would expect from a run of the mill diner, not a nice 20-30$ a plate restaurant. Maybe that is part of the reason why the dining room was only about 25% full on a Friday night. For dessert, I decided to try the warm chocolate brownie with homemade strawberry ice cream. Again, I was left disappointed. The ice cream had huge chunks of frozen, inedible strawberries and the brownie was so light and fluffy that the ice cream chunks over powered any chocolatey taste. I was left craving a thick gooey, hearty brownie. What they served was not fit to share the brownie name. In addition, the service was odd to say the least. Our waitress didn't seem to know the answer to our basic questions and had a difficult time separating the checks by couple. It seemed like maybe it was her first day. All in all, I don't think I will be going back to Slate Bistro barring some significant changes. My food/experience was not bad per say, but I do expect a higher quality for the price range. If I'm going to pay 20-30$ an entree, I'm going to go somewhere that has quality food, varied options and a solid execution.
