I was really excited when I read the reviews from the other Yelpers about this restaurants. When I arrived I was really impressed with how nice it looked. The bar isn't large or the restaurant in general isn't that big, but it seems pretty lively. Nice big windows which are probably really nice to sit next to on a Friday and Saturday night when there are people out and about.
We were greeted graciously by the hostess and seated quickly. Our server was also very nice. We ordered the tater tots, just a half order. I loved those and the half order was more than enough for my husband and I to share. Then we had the sopes. I love pork belly, so was really excited about trying them. They were a little on the heavy side. Next we tried the biscuits. If you like bacon and eggs, then you will like this dish. I feel like the quail eggs were a little overcooked. We decided to share the Short Rib. It was huge! I was really excited to try the grits that came with it too. But then we bit into it. It was pure fat! I don't mind a little fat if it rendered properly, but it wasn't. So my husband cuts on the other side of the rib and we still couldn't find any actual meat. Not that it mattered since biting into the fat already turned my stomach. The server offered to cook it longer or bring another, but we had lost our appetite. When the server brought us the bill he said that the manager took 10% off the top of our tab, which was about $3.50. That's not going to work. We asked to speak to the manager and when he came to speak to us he removed the short rib off our tab.
I think this place is going to be great in a couple of months. The menu is pretty creative and I would like to return and try some other dishes one day. Great place to go if you like bacon, which I do. Next time I will probably try the crudo dish or a salad. I little acid would go great with the heavier dishes.
