| - This was an unfortunate experience. I had such high hopes, especially seeing 4 of 5 stars on average. Not our experience,...and we usually have pretty good experiences. The hostess was unfriendly and had no knowledge of the restaurant. I thought I had been here a few years back so I asked her what it used to be called. She had no idea. I asked how long it had been there, no idea. She was much more interested in complaining about something with a waitress. No greeting, no smile, really seemed we were a burden (or a process) more than patrons.
On to the waitress. Not friendly, not pleasant and totally ignorant of the food, drinks and restaurant. I asked her the same question "I think I was here years ago, did this recently change owners?", I said. "I don't know", she said. Her description of the special of the day was hilarious: "It's like potatoes with onions in it and a vegetable,....(long pause),....with meat." Mmmmmm, sounds awesome, meat, I'll have that, thanks for being so specific....uuuh."Can you tell me what kind of "meat" it is?", I asked. She said, "Let me go check." She came back and told us it was Filet Mignon. Haha, ummmm, shouldn't you lead with that??? And, shouldn't you know that??? It was not a very busy night, very slow for a Friday night, literally about 8 other tables. I was less shocked after experiencing the hostess and waitress.
The drinks she brought us were bad after bad after really nasty. Seriously, there were 4 of us and all our drinks (all different) were bad. Dirty glasses, poorly mixed, poor quality. The sangria was nasty, super sweet, tasted bad. 2-3 glasses of wine were poor quality and gross. We drink red wine out a lot and have never had an experience like this. The food was acceptable. Not spectacular, not terrible,....got the burger, was basically taste-less. It was fair. The best part about the place, by far, was sitting in the little courtyard.
Would I go back? Nope. I'd Yelp and try somewhere else nearby, there are lots of places close.
