| - I've tried giving this restaurant two chances. Apparently the dinner is great and the chef is fantastic, but I haven't had luck with lunch.
Most recently, my husband and I went for lunch last week. It was busy, but not outrageously so considering the amount of staff they had working. We were seated immediately and offered water (we heard the people next to us being offered sparkling or still a few minutes later, but oh well). I ordered the burger and my husband ordered the shrimp po' boy.
I was really hungry, and the burger said it came with Grandfather's pickles, onion, cheddar cheese, and aioli. I picked the kale salad as my side. When the burger arrived I first noticed how small it was. Also, how the 2 square patties were identical to the hamburger patties at Wendy's. Still, I kept an open mind and ate a few bites. It was just bland. I opened it up and realized there was no pickles or onion. I asked the server for ketchup and my missing ingredients. She looked at my plate and exclaimed "oh, they gypped you!". She came back about 5 minutes later with a tiny container of pickles and said "apologies, from the chef." I reminded her about the ketchup and someone else brought that a few minutes later.
The burger was boring, the kale salad was bland, and the server tried to take my husband's plate right out from under him when he still had good left, and I wasn't nearly finished! He said the po' boy was just fine, nothing special.
For such a pretentious, pricey restaurant, this was a bummer. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
