| - I wanted to love this place from the amazing reviews on Yelp (which led us here). And all of the food we ate was tasty, thats for sure, but the service and our final experience left much to be desired.
We weren't too sure what to order as we have never been to a Georgian restaurant before. The server was friendly enough but there was a bit of a language barrier, which is not a huge deal. To start off, we ordered the suliko salad, borscht soup, suliko hachapuri, and pork stuffed cheburek, thinking we would order mains in a little while after we got our apps. We also ordered a Georgian organic wine and a beer as well.
Fresh tiny bread rolls accompanied by a trio of tasty hot sauces, butter, and some pickled cauliflower came to the table quickly - all delicious! The borscht soup came next which was very hearty, warming and tasty. I liked that they served the sour cream on the side instead of already in the hot bowl. The pork cheburek was yummy, sort of like a giant empanada type pastry but with a thinner crust with ground meat inside - yum! The suliko hachapuri was stuffed to the brim with a mild melty cheese in a thin puff pastry like shell, totally delish!
Since we enjoyed our starters, we wanted to order a main but then the place got very busy very quickly. Full of people who seemed to be regulars, all conversing in what I can only assume was Georgian. Side note, I always think this is a positive when peeps from the particular region dine in a culturally specific restaurant as I deem them to be experts on their cuisine. Our waitress all but forgot about us and only came back to quickly check on us once, when we asked about our salad, which finally came as an afterthought at what turned out to be the end of our meal.
We were pretty full by that point anyway and just asked for the check as it didn't seem we would be able to order anything else due to the fact that the place was packed and there were only two servers. The BF loved their hot sauce and asked for a bit of extra to go with our leftovers.
When the bill arrived, we discovered were were charged an extra $4 for two tiny containers of hot sauce. Majah bummah. I would have just paid and never returned but for my bae, it was the principal of the matter and asked for them to remove the fee from the bill so we would leave the sauce. We waited an awkward 15 minutes for the server to come over to remove the charge. The BF also realized they charged slightly more than advertised on the menu for his beer as well. The end experience really ruined the evening and made me a pretty sad.
So all in all, the food is delicious, hence two stars. The service is a bit forgetful and beware of cray extra charges that are just not cool. I would not return here.
