| - I heard nothing but good things about 811. I called on Friday evening for a Saturday evening reservation and was told nothing available until 8:30. We got down there early, 7pm, called and they said come. When we got there the place was 3/4 empty, so we were alittle perplexed about that. The hostess and waitress were great. We started out with the sampler hummus. It was average. The pita that came with it, they call it air bread, was great. My wife had the spicy salmon sushi and she said it was very good. I had a lentil legume dish, it was 90% cabbage slaw, so it wasn't what I imagined it to be. The description definitely did not accurately describe the dish. I didn't care for the taste, and I love cabbage slaw. The waitress, Andrea, picked up on that right away and was insistent on me ordering something else to replace it. I went with her suggestion, the stuffed pita (felafel) and it was good. It came with fries that were average. I was a bit disappointed in the place because it is part of the Red Steakhouse group, and it was just average. And $14 for a felafel with fries I believe is overpriced. The music is quite loud and you have to talk even louder to be heard, so the place is really loud. The place is nice inside, I just think the food needs to be improved a notch or two.
