I don't get it. First time at the Arrogant Butcher and was not impressed. I feel like it's a trendier version of Chile's. I guess my mistake was ordering the scallops instead of something easier and more mainstream like pasta or a burger. I even asked about the scallops and how they were and waitress assured me they were great. They were nearly inedible and I only ate about half of a very tiny plate. They came with very old, wilted, yellowed parsley on top that I would've thrown away had it been in my fridge. The scallops came with bacon wrapped sweet potatoes which were SO SALTY and made the whole dish very unbalanced. It just is the wrong combination for scallops, and was a huge expensive fail. I probably should've sent it back, but I just wanted to get out of there and go home after a long week.
I tasted my husband's fries and they were disgusting! They tasted stale and old, and just plain nasty. Probably the worst fries I've ever tasted. My daughter's mushroom pasta was very nice though, and I dipped my scallops into her leftover cream mushroom sauce so that I didn't leave hungry.
The Laguna Chardonnay was really nice though, and not sure I've had it before. Service was ok in terms of speed, but I didn't encounter anyone particularly friendly. Not rude, just not welcoming.
We were considering having a large company holiday event here, but it's off the list now as I would not trust the food quality.
