| - I wish I could give a four or five star rating, but I have to admit that I was disappointed by some of the food and the experience in general.
We arrived as soon as the restaurant opened, so we were seated quickly. People who came even half an hour after opening were forced to wait quite a while.
We ordered:
-calamari with tartar sauce (5/5)
-kale Caesar salad (3/5)
-steak with veggies (2.5/5)
-Mac and cheese (2/5)
-soup of the day (5/5)
The calamari was out of this world! It was gluten free, which was a bonus! I highly recommend this. The kale Caesar didn't resemble Caesar salad at all, and we wished they had used romaine instead. The steak was awfully bitter for some reason, which made the meal difficult to finish. The veggies were well enjoyed, though.
I had the macaroni and cheese and was thoroughly disappointed in it. It was absolutely bland and did not live up to the description on the menu. The breadcrumb topping was excessive, since all I tasted in the dish was bread. The dish was so bland that I thought perhaps they actually forgot to taste it and merely salt it before plating and serving it. The soup of the day was a red pepper soup with cashew cream, and it was perfectly seasoned and well balanced.
As others have noted, the music was WAYYYY too loud and I heard almost every customer complaining about this amongst themselves. It ruined the experience. Staff was friendly and accommodating, which helped.
I recommend visiting Mythology Diner for the calamari and side dishes. I would like to go back and try the French onion soup and the meatloaf, since these have been highly rated. I hope the restaurant looks into these reviews and addresses the issues.
