Our first time in after much anticipation.
I must say this place has great potential HOWEVER...
Called ahead and a table was available.
Small room, intimate but loud. If that makes any sense.
The hostess informed us that they had just re-opened after re-tooling the entire menu. This information really did not need to be disclosed. It just made us wonder why, and if something was wrong.
We were sat right away at a deuce in the middle of the room. But with no reservation on a Saturday night we weren't going to be too picky.
The server came to the table and just started our order. No greeting. No menu explanation. No specials. Nothing. So I introduced myself to her and greeted her instead to get things going.
We ordered cocktails before dinner. It took, and I am not exaggerating, 20 minutes to get an Old Fashion and a glass of wine.
We decided to order the charcuterie plate as a first course. A few minutes later she asked us if we wanted to order apps. So we did. 35 minutes later the second courses of apps arrived. When we asked for the first course they just said this is how it comes out. So finally after another ten minutes the manager brought out the first course.
The server talked me into the foie gras special app. At Market Price. Watch out for MP! $30 for this dish.
Now it's been an hour and a half and we are really digging the food. Amazing flavor. The chef is very talented. The use of beets in 3 out of four of our dishes but all completely different in taste and texture was amazing.
When it came to finally ordering our main course we were informed that they were out of the dish. When u only have five entrees and u run out of one at 8 pm that's not a good sign.
The GF didn't want or couldn't eat any of the other four entrees so we decided to go directly to dessert and after dinner cocktail.
Upon finishing I tried unsuccessfully to wave down our server for fifteen more minutes. By now I am tired and getting ornery and just wanted to go home.
All in all the food was amazing. But the operations needs ALOT of work still.
I just don't know if I want to spend another two and a half hours and not even get dinner for another $150.
Good luck
