| - Wow. The place is pretty, but don't expect "high end" as they tout on their website. It's basically Timbers with much better atmosphere.
We joked from the start that our waitress hated us but it became clear that it wasn't a joke, she actually did hate us, or maybe just her job. We're pretty happy go-lucky so we can handle a hard attitude; she reminded me of my BFF, I actually texted my BFF and said she should never be a server Lol We laughed it off, we weren't here for her company anyway.
To bad the food was terrible. We had the potstickers (which were the best dish despite being a bit on the spicy side), artichoke dip (excited to see it come w crostini but surprisingly the chips were way better than the bread. The dip itself was so-so), and I had the fish and chips which were very bland (but the fish was better the next day in the toaster), I hardly touched the tastless fries which was a big part of why I ordered fish n chips to begin with.
Then we made the huge mistake of ordering dessert. We wanted it to-go but were told we couldn't get 2 (out of 3) desserts to-go due to the fact they are served in Mason jars. This is crazy to me. I get it, it's hipster cool, but I've had other restaurants that do it that way know how to send their creations to-go. I asked if they could just pour it into a to-go container and that I wouldn't hold it against the chef (I mean, it couldn't be worse than dinner, right?) So we ordered the chocolate cream pie and chocolate chip cookies. We had already paid our bill and were just waiting on desserts. After 10 minutes our server walked by and said "Have a good night", we reminded her we were waiting on dessert, "Oh right, let me go check on that". She came back and told us the cookies are baked to order so they take a bit (anyone whos ever baked cookies knows they take 12 mins tops. And anyone whos ever worked in a restaurant that had a made-to-order dessert also knows to mention the wait time to the customer at some point!)
After 20 minutes SO tried to get her attention to ask about dessert to which she snapped back (across the section) "Sir, the.cookies.are.made.to.order!"
After 30 minutes we got our desserts.
The chocolate "cream" pie is pudding (with whipped cream and crumbled grahams). Although, the kitchen did know how to make it to go, very nicely packaged in a soup container. The chocolate chip cookies were good, 4 thin cookies fresh from the oven (probably take about 7 minutes to bake).
$80 for 2 beers, 3 apps, 1 main, 2 desserts.
Unreal.
Better off throwing another $30 to that and going to The Melting Pot for a fine dining experience where the staff treat you well and the Chef aims to please.
