| - The food here is good. Very good. I had been ogling the menu online for a couple days before we finally went and still had trouble picking because every description sounded amazing. I settled on the Zinfandel short ribs and they did not disappoint- so soft and packed with flavor. My BF got the Blackened Scallops and they were done really well too- as were his cheesy chorizo filled mashed potatoes that I swooped in on. Our Tuna Bites appetizer was a bit underwhelming (3 small slices of mediocre tuna for $13.. meh), but the tiramisu for dessert was great. Wine selection is great too and complemented our meal perfectly.
So why the 3 stars??
When we got in, we stood at the hostess' table waiting for someone to take our names, tell us table availability, etc. The bartender, cooks, and waitresses (3 of them) all were right there a foot or two away from us, looked at us, tried not to make eye contact, and shuffled away. Not one person managed to acknowledge our existence. For 15 minutes. After we asked to be helped 3 times. We were about to walk out when finally one of the waiters came by and mentioned they were really busy and he'd be with us soon. They made up for this with good service the rest of the time but this put a terrible start on the night. Besides, the dining room had about 5 tables seated, and 3 waiters working- they should be able to handle that pretty easily. We didn't need to be seated right away, but at the very least they should know to ASK if customers have been helped, mention they're shortstaffed but will be there in a minute to take down a name, etc. Anything! Don't look at us and scuffle away. Poor form.
