I'm torn. I can't honestly tell you if this was a 3 or 4 star experience.
I'm a firm believer that food will always taste better when the service is good. So from a service aspect we had pretty damn good service considering we sat at the bar (served by an older bartender who completely handled that section)....so there's 4 star decision.
Another 4 stars for style (think industrial brick and mortar meets velvet booths with orange accents). They also do a great job giving you 3 different ambiances in one space (dining at a table, communal tables in the bar or a nice patio area).
The food was a solid 3 stars which was the biggest bummer. We came here hoping for some great bbq...The prices are comparable to similar concepts ($18 for brick chicken or a bbq pork shoulder) but the food took forever and was cold when it arrived. The plates were small; our appetizer was 3 pieces the size of pot stickers for $15. From the time we ordered to getting our dinner took about 40 minutes post rush and wouldn't have been a big deal if it wasn't cold when it arrived. We were hungry so we just dealt with it. The food tasted bland, the broccolini was over cooked and cold, potatoes cold, chicken cold, pork cold. Mac and cheese was damn good....but cold.
Honestly, the best thing on the menu was the overpriced appetizers and the drinks.
I would revisit for the drinks and ambiance but I wouldn't visit for dinner again.
