| - After such a great experience attending an event at this restaurant, I decided to book my family in here to celebrate my father's birthday. I wish I could say the food and service were everything I was hoping for, and although there were definitely some good things about the experience, my party as a whole found most areas lacking something.
I had made a reservation, and we were able to get a good table outside as we'd hoped. The wait staff did a good job of welcoming us, and we got drinks quite quickly. While perusing the menus and sipping on our drinks though, we were told that they were very busy, and that we could expect a 30-45 minute wait for our food. We were there to socialize as well as eat, so we said that although it wasn't ideal, we were prepared to wait that long. To help get everything moving (at the suggestion of the server) we decided to order our apps and mains right away at the same time, so the kitchen would have all the tickets to work on.
A short time later we got our appetizers. We shared orders of calamari and onion rings, and both were really tasty and very well prepared. At this point we all thought we were in for a great meal.
And then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. The server was trying to handle our inquiries, but basically just said they were busy. And at one point seemed to blame the wait on us ordering ribs, which she said took longer to prepare. Finally though, after nearly an hour and a half (double the longest time we were expecting to wait), we got some food. And even as hungry as we were, none of us were really impressed with our meals. We had ordered pizzas, the pho wrap, burgers, and 3 people were having the beef ribs. The pizza was good. No issue there. And the fries and sweet potato fries that went along with a few of the entrees were very good. But that's where it stopped. Due to a medical concern, one of our party had ordered her wrap without Sriracha sauce. But when it came, it definitely had the sauce all through it. After a couple of bites it was clear she wouldn't be able to eat her meal - but no way did we have the wont or the time to send it back. My burger was okay. Definitely under seasoned, and a little over cooked. And I was specific about what I wanted on my burger, yet, they didn't get the toppings right. And they failed to mention they spear a pickle to the top of their burgers (I was specific in asking what came on the burgers, as I absolutely hate pickles). I had to cut off the top of the bun so I didn't taste pickle with every bite.
Those who had the ribs all gave mediocre reviews - both in taste, and in portion size. I tasted some, and it seemed kind of stringy and lacking taste. I also had some of the vegetables that came with them, and they were kind of blah as well. They actually seemed like underdone frozen vegetables.
After the amount of time we spent there, and the disappointment with the food, we didn't even bother staying for dessert, even though a slice of birthday cake would have been appropriate.
I'm not sure if I'll give this place another shot for a while, but in the meantime they definitely have some things to work on.
