Expectations were set a little high based on the look of the place and some of the latest reviews. That being said, they get an 8 for atmosphere and ambiance. The exposed brick wall lined with multiple double glass doors leading to the patio area. The interior dining area lined with multiple
String lights all work together to set the stage.
And then the failures begins...
Besides never getting the complimentary basket of bread which all other tables seemed to receive and enjoy, they have 5 appetizers. None of which have a description in the menu. So if you're looking for fresh classic calamari, go somewhere else as they toss theirs in a sweet Thai chili sauce. That appetizer wasn't too bad, the problem was really with the fried green tomatoes which were clearly cooked from a frozen state. Under the heavy fried breading, the tomatoes were mush and didn't hold up to the reheating process. After that we had a chance to really sit and take a look at the place as our entrees had no intention of showing up any time soon.
"Sorry about the delay, but the bar is slammed." Was the apology received from serving staff. After that comment our worst fears were realized. This establishment had a single kitchen serving the sports bar upstairs as well as the dining patrons downstairs. The bar food took precedence over everything and this was a bar food cook attempting to achieve upscale dining fare.
Our entrees finally arrive (8oz filet & 10oz steak), both unevenly cooked and over-salted. We even saw the same dish I ordered come out 3 different ways which goes to show inconsistency in plating. The food was edible, but an experience that doesn't need repeating.
