| - I've actually been here twice now. First time, I was with friends after a tasting at Sportsman's. The only thing I remember is that I wasn't very taken with the atmosphere, and not too impressed with the food.
But, I keep hearing friends with positive comment, so I thought I'd try again. This time, I stopped to grab a quick dinner before a late business meeting nearby. No parking spaces on the lot, so I used the valet since I was in a hurry - and he parked it on the front lot in an unmarked space. WTF? I could have done that myself for free!
I was there with menu in hand by 10 of 6. Happy hour ends at 6, and the woman bartender, who was not very friendly, took her good ole time getting orders for two other couples that came in after me, so I wound up with no wine discount. She shrugged.
Younger guy bartender was happy to answer questions about the food. Achiote salmon was much better than I expected, even though the slab of fish was obviously of the perfectly-formed, vacuum-packed, frozen variety, not even close to fresh. The somewhat sweet corn cake, set off with spicy chorizo in the center was the highlight of the meal.
On a Tues. night, a few cougars, but mostly regular gals at the tables eating dinner...and a lot of Creepy Old Guys (COGs). Too many other great places in the area to return to one that is just so-so.
