| - We went for a dinner here with a Groupon coupon we had purchased. Neither of us had ever been. We went during stampede, and so the place was EMPTY (there were 4 other diners when we arrived).
My first impression, decor-wise, is that the place isn't done. The floor is concrete, and while my fiance assured me that this was the 'look' they were going for, to me it just look unfinished. The tables seemed too far apart and there was a huge space in the middle of the restaurant completely unoccupied and undecored. It just didn't feel right. The music was a mix of old school remixes and country, which also didn't help with the atmosphere.
The service was fine, our server was very friendly, but for a restaurant with prices like these I expect excellent service from a personality and technical perspective. We often had to wait a long time for her to return to the table.
The appetizers: french onion soup and beef tartare. The soup was great, lots of cheese, super tasty. The tartare had a lot of dijon, I would recommend asking for less in your oder. Overall, just fine.
Entrees: chicken breast and T-bone steak. The chicken was ok, nothign special, the sauce was pretty bland, and had separated which makes me think it was not fresh. The t-bone was cooked perfectly to order, and was quite tasty. We ordered it without sauce, although they have four to choose from. The order of fries was an entire bowl, big enough to share.
Wine: Our server warned us that they were changing over their wine menu and might not have everything. We placed our order for two different glasses. The red they had; the white they did not, but instead of letting us know, she just brought a glass of a 'similar' white. I feel that could have been handled better.
Dessert: Raspberry Ganache. Very yummy, fresh fruit and real whipped cream. This was the best part of the meal for me.
Overall, it's like this place was trying to be high-end but didn't quite make it, although their prices would disagree. I was let down, and won't go back. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but I've had better food at Brewsters or The Keg.
