I went here last night, mostly because La Carnita had an hour and a half wait and because I've bought bread here a few times and have wanted to try the food.
Reading through the reviews here it seems as though there is a consensus: Food is good but overpriced. I ordered the Polenta Fries as a starter for $7. Yummy but the portion is worth more like $4. Ordered the Flat Grilled Steak $29 and the Potato Salad $7. I find it really annoying when restaurants charge in the upper $20s without sides included. Both were delicious but I think $22 for the steak and $5 for the salad would have made more sense.
What the problem is at this place is the service! The waitstaff are morons! They have no ability to guess accurate timeframes. They do not understand that the client is paying a lot of money here and should be treated respectfully. The staff was rude on many occasions. All of them! Someone else mentioned that here as well. It's possible they are underpaid in which case I feel the prices at this restaurant are a real sham. If you are going to charge $40 for a main with a side you need to be paying and training your waitstaff to treat the clients like gods. Period!
Sooooo, I would not return here because as much as the food is good it takes forever, the service sucks, and once it arrives the taste does not rationalize the price. I can get the same quality of food at Buca where they will kiss my ass and I won't wait forever or be spoken to with attitude and it will probably cost less.
