| - Meh. I've experienced better.
I hate sounding like a snoot, but coming from Los Angeles, I've had some pretty good food. I've had some bad food too. I live in a big city so I'm pretty experienced with eating out, in all sorts of environments. I didn't appreciate all the hype the server gave us for the seared Ahi tuna appetizer because it really was not that good. She was like, "you can't get tuna like this in LA"...... oh really?
The tuna was not fresh at all, it had a weak sear on the outside, was overcooked on the inside and came with a mediocre slaw and a big pile of salad greens (undressed). I was like, "who wants to eat this?" Not me.
I wanted to order a bowl of Gumbo but they were out.
Artichoke dip? Tasted like it was pre-made, not house made. It came with some weak little triangles of store bought pita bread that wasn't even toasted.
My mother in law's Reuben was super dry.
My father in law's Ahi dinner plate was underwhelming with the same smooshy, not so fresh Tuna that I had as my app. It also came with steamed broccoli and it was served room temp. Bleh.
The plus points were that there was nice patio seating, a decent wine list and a nice but overly eager server girl. Other than that, I wouldn't eat here again when we visit North Carolina. It was just barely mediocre and I could've prepared these dishes better myself.
Sorry cafe 101.
