| - If we can discuss our experience in three words, it would be 1) intrigued 2) disappointed 3) amazed. I guess it's like a love story, you have to experience the low to feel the high. Ha!
Intrigued:
We stopped in to have dinner on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was gorgeous, modern, and a perfect addition to the Andaz hotel. You can't help but expect the food to be as beautiful/delicious as the place itself.
Disappointed:
We immediately ordered dates, yellowtail, cornbread, and two grilled steak hangars. The dates and yellowtail were first to arrive. The dates were fair but the yellowtail smelled fishy. Yes, yes it's a fish but it's "fishy" in a spoiled kind of way. After experiencing that, we told our waiter of the issue and that we'd prefer to cancel the rest of our meal.
Amazed:
With no hesitation, our waiter apologize and left with the plate. Soon after, Mike, the manager stopped by and asked what was wrong and how he could make our experience better. Mike then proceeded to explain that the yellowtail was a new dish. He then offered to comp our entire meal and drinks as a way to improve our experience. It was very generous of him and goes to show the care he had to ensure we left the establishment satisfied. We decided to stay and finish our meal.
The hangar steak was AMAZING and the drinks were SUBLIME! We were taken aback. The combination of puréed eggplant, tomatoes, and charred steak paired so well together. It was an explosion of flavors. A MUST for anyone who decides to visit. And let me tell you about the drinks, we tried the Pimm's Cup and El Diablo, both very well crafted. Worth every penny. We'll be back for those.
Mike truly took great care of us. He asked for feedback and seem to genuinely took them into consideration. Weft & Warp is lucky to have him.
GO! We recommend visiting during sunset hours. It's beautiful. Order a drink or two...or three and go straight for the steak. Skip the yellowtail, dates, and cornbread.
Cheers! You're welcome!
