Snotsdale vibe aside, the place is pretty nicely decorated and the atmosphere is nice. We came for restaurant week and our waitress was great. She was not the least bit snotty!
For first course we tried the calamari and the crispy brussel sprouts. The sprouts were basically deep fried with some kind of white sauce drizzled over it. With the sweet-tangy salsa it was actually very good and the portion was huge. The calamari was cooked perfectly but I didn't understand the combination. It came with roasted tomato, capers and artichoke hearts. Not bad, not as big of a portion size.
For the entrees we chose the short rib and pork chop. The short rib was a large square rectangle which threw me off slightly, but the taste was pretty good. Came with a very sweet balsamic reduction, blue cheese gnocci and wilted spinach. The pork chop was cooked perfectly with a nice crust and soft middle. The sauce was good, although it could have used more and bed of vegetables that included fingerling potatoes were great but also not as plentiful. Just a little bit of green on the plate and it would've been just perfect.
All in all, I'm surprised the yelp rating on this restaurant is so low. Must be mostly pricing or service because the food is pretty good. A don't miss for Restaurant Week!
