| - Yaaaaaay!!!!! A new spot with flavor? Bring it on! Visited here on a Friday night to have a drink and a quick bite with a friend. To sum it up, I loved the decor - a sultry black and red with a beautiful floor to ceiling tile wall. We were seated immediately and ordered drinks. Their signature drinks are a little pricey, ranging from $11-15. However, they had drink specials (Friday is ladies night) and there were $5 cocktails. Had Bacardi rum w/ Pineapple and grenadine $5.00 and they weren't stingy with the booze. One was enough for a small buzz to relax.
My friend ordered something and was informed within minutes that it wasn't available for that night. New business problems. Get it together. He then ordered a salmon Caesar salad. Pretty good, but nothing special. The piece of salmon wasn't particularly large. They originally served it with Ranch dressing. Simple mistake that was fixed quickly.
I ordered the crab, spinach, and artichoke dip and the salmon bites. The salmon bites were more of a salmon salad that was fried. Easy to bite into and well seasoned. The crab dip came with freshly cooked pita chips. The chips were Great, the right taste and texture, being chewy and not too crunchy. The dip however lacked in crab meat. I think it was $8, so you get what you pay for. I think there was a healthy amount of crab flavoring in there as opposed to actual meat. That being said, the dip was still tasty. And because there was a significant delay in my food being served, the manager comped my meal. I didn't have to ask or complain. She was just on top of her game and noticed that I Still wasn't eating after 30+ minutes. Excellent customer service points there.
This same night, I came back with my girls because they were hungry after a long night. It was probably 1:45 and the kitchen was already closed. However, the owner offered to fix us some wings. We didn't take him up on the offer, but the gesture was very nice. He invited us to come back and handled the situation well. Great experience. This restaurant will be around for a long time to come.
Having not heard of this place, I was impressed that they were already so busy. Excellent place to come and kick it on a Friday night.
