| - This place is always packed, so we had to check it out to see what the hype was about.
I was a bit saddened to find that my beloved Modern Grove was gone, so I was certain that something superior would have taken it's place. FYI - if you have never been to a Modern Grove, be sure to "treat yo'self".
We arrived for my wife's birthday, not really knowing what this place was about. Got seated fairly quickly during a busy time. The place is beautiful and the seating is great in the winter months outdoors.
We were seated and it took a good 5 minutes for our waitress to come greet us. We ordered water and beers, I swear I am not exaggerating, but it took around 10 minutes to get our drinks; I am weird and I time this stuff, as if waitresses and waiters don't have to deal with enough from customers. Sorry. By this time, my daughters have completely devoured all the bread sticks provided and are getting ravenous. The waitress was very absent throughout the entire night, it was very disappointing. I digress, I will get back. So she brings our beers, she says they are out of the beer that my wife ordered, so she took the liberty of getting her a different one, without even asking her or telling us they were out. I mean, thanks...? But at about $9 a beer, she would have liked to have been the one to chose.
We look at the menu, order an ap and some entrees at the recommendation of the waitress and with a spin of our own preference. The food came out fast. I just wasn't happy with the meal, it was so... boring. The ap was great, a little charcuterie board of sorts, very tasty. But the entrees are just noodles and meatballs, totally taken aback by this. I know I sound like a nut, because I ordered the food. Perhaps it just wasn't for us, or I ordered the wrong thing; I am not sure. But this is the large majority of the menu, like that's their thing, balls of meat. There just isn't much to say, the dish was OK. Bland meatballs tossed in some sauce with noodles. If I can be completely honest, it tasted just like my mom's Hamburger Helper beef stroganoff that she used to make growing up, so the feels are there. I am not trying to bash "The Butcher", I think that it's just not for everyone. Unless they have something on the menu that would completely change my mind, I don't think that I would be back anytime soon. Possibly next winter to drink at the bar... that sounds nice! Also the waitress was very absent, we spent a lot of time waiting. Waiting for water, for the check, for the box. I think she may have been overworked as she seemed very experienced and was pleasant.
