| - How have I not written my review for this place? My bad. I have been here twice. It was a hit and miss situation. The first time was much better than the second. The first time was with a large group of friends around the grand opening. Th second time was for Restaurant Week.
With the former, it was a group of eight starting off with cocktails at the bar. The attention to service was what impressed me the most. When we were all present, the hostess came to get us and carried out drinks on trays. It was a nice touch. I am more than capable of carrying my drink from the bar to my table, but it was appreciated.
The food was spectacular minus a few glitches such as the all kale caesar being dominated by romaine. The second time, they rectified that problem. With the party of eight, we pretty much tried everything. The steak and tator tots, oxtail croquettes, chicken pot pie nuggets, osso bucco with orzo were my favorite items. The fried game hen with their locally sourced organic honey was delicious, too. Everything was enjoyable from start to finish.
The second time was a little more chaotic. The food came out lukewarm to cool on some of the items. We were all hungry, so we let it slide. The appetizer for two could have used a little more substance. It was not enough compared to the larger salads. The entrees were definitely generous. I was stuffed at this point. Once the desserts came around I was done for. The fresh baked cookies with milk was ridiculous in sheer volume. The three granita dessert was nice, but lacked a cohesiveness. Almond and coffee made sense. Almond and watermelon was not bad. Yet trying to figure out how coffee and watermelon worked one after the other didn't pan out.
The beverage program here is solid and I enjoyed the concoctions they put out. They have added to their list since the first time. I would definitely go back again.
