| - Deltas - I'm rooting for you to one day be in the 5-star category. For now, I'm going with a 4, but only because I cannot give you a 3+.
The Great: Wonderful martinis! I love you for this alone. We were a table of 10 and several of us ordered the inventive selections from your mixologists. I'd go back just for a martini and an app. The place is quite nice-looking: floor to ceiling windows, white linen, soft leather, great lighting, inspired presentation.
The Good: Attentive service from the waiters. Seemed obvious they were new to the serving position, so were a bit stilted, but they were genuinely trying to please the diners at our table and I give them an A+ for effort. There were several dishes which caught my eye but I settled on the standby of mac and cheese (cooked in its own dish to cheesy perfection) and fried chicken (seriously good). Others at the table ordered ribs (I snagged one - tasty), salmon (tasty). Overall, everyone seemed to enjoy their food and would welcome a second visit.
The No-So-Good: Seat us for goodness sake. Three hostesses standing around trying to figure it all out and not being very friendly in the process made an immediate, less than favorable impression. Could be due to new restaurant jitters. But here's my only real issue with Delta's - the music. I can deal with soft jazz playing in the background. In fact, that would be a nice touch. But at 8:00 on a Friday night, the music was unbearably loud, so much so that it dominated the restaurant and did not allow for conversation among diners, which is really a reason we're there. To connect, eat good food and relax from the workweek is Friday night goal. This can't be done with the music blaring in the background. Lower the decibels a bit and we have a plan!
There was definitely enough here to warrant a second visit.
