| - We had been meaning to try out roseangel for quite a while and decided to give it a try last night. Heard mixed reviews but figured the new menu might be worth checking out.....boy were we wrong.
The evening started out really nice, walking by the windows there was a office party in the back room and a swing dance group in the middle room, leaving the front room open for diners. Liked the decor, was seated fast and orders were taken in a timely manner by our nice server.
Drinks came, their marg choices are a little adventerous and we tried 3 of them, pineapple-jalapeno, banana-chile and apricot-rosemary....the first couple of sips of my pineapple-jalapeno were good, but around half a glass I just didn't want any more.
Also ordered the guac as an appetizer, guac was pretty good but the "warm" corn chips that were served with it were not salted at all, and avocado deserves a little bit of salting!!
Pulled pork tacos....now, maybe the salt shaker on the table should have been my first clue to run, you don't see this at restaurants where the food is properly seasoned, but there it was, sitting front and center in the middle of our polka-dot table......and the tacos needed it desperately. NOTHING was seasoned on the plate, except the bacon, and that came to the chef pre-seasoned.
Now, this is where I feel this review may belong in Matt's "Quality vs. Quantity" thread....there was so much food on the plate that I definitely couldn't finish it (but I didn't want to take home leftovers either, ick). Two tacos, fully loaded so you couldn't even pick them up and eat them. Refried beans that were also very bland and then a blob of white rice (was this supposed to be anything similar to a Latin-style rice??) that had absolutely no flavor. When you mess with someone's rice and beans, you mess with their mind.....this stuff wasn't good at all.
At this point of the meal, I was all ready to give them 3 stars....and then the bill came....$60 for 3 drinks, an app and 4 tacos.....it was so expensive that I actually asked the waitress to bring over the menu again just so I could double-check the prices. uh, thanks but no thanks, I'll be taking my business over to Momocho, and you should too....and no, I'm not going to wait until they "improve". It's obvious that the problem with this restaurant probably wasn't their menu, it's the palate of their chef.....
