| - My girlfriend and I were in the area and planning on trying something new and found this place. The Atmosphere was very hip and vibe, and we were seated really fast and was offered drinks the moment we sat down. After about 10 minutes of waiting, we received our drinks and began to order our Antipasti. Everything was going fine with the fine cheeses until we received our cornbread, which was flavorless even with butter and whatever the powdery cheese was that also had no flavor. It took yet another 10 minutes for the server to come to check on us, and another 10 minutes for us to order. My girlfriend ordered the Turkey Pastrami with fries, and I ordered the 36-hour smoked pork ribs with fries and coleslaw.
Here is where everything started to go wrong, it took a while again to receive the food and be offered drinks again, or even had our water topped off.
Our food was...TERRIBLE. The Ribs and sandwich came out lukewarm and cold, and our fries were soggy and cold. Our server was nice enough to send it back, and have it come out hot. Let me say this, we spent $75 for a meal, so we expect FRESH food ESPECIALLY for BBQ ribs (36 hours smoked at that) and turkey pastrami which is always served as HOT sandwich. We got our food back another 5 minutes later which we were extremely disappointed as the food was incredibly salty, almost inedible, and the food was dried out from microwaving. That is not okay, what restaurant charges 3/4's of a $100 for food that is not fresh, incredibly salty, and microwaved. We were tired out after a long day and with 2 hours of service that should have taken no longer than 45 minutes-hour, we come to the conclusion that we will not be returning. This was just awful.
Tip (for the cooks): If you advertise ribs that have cooked for 36 hours, a customer such as myself expects the meat to fall off the bone, and be real juicy. Not a microwaved saltpile. That goes for the Turkey Pastrami.
We give this place 2 stars solely cause the bartenders were magical with their drinks and the server was very polite and easy to talk to.
