| - I was one of the first patrons for lunch, I park in the lot on the side, open the door and walk in...and get fairly rudely told by one of the servers that I've just entered the wrong door and if I would like to go to the front and wait for the hostess, I can be seated. Not the best start to the meal.
I ordered a bunch of food figuring I'd sample it all and decide if I like the restaurant enough to bring my wife by at another time.
First I got the hamburger w/bacon and gruyere. By the time it got to me, the bun was completely soggy under the burger. The bread was too soft and porous, and there was nothing between the burger and the bread. The biggest crime here was that the menu said it was served w/an aioli...and it was, on the side. If they had just put a nice thin coat of it on the bun then the juices wouldn't have turned my bun into a fall apart mess. The crispy onions on top were nice though, and the burger was cooked a nice medium. HOWEVER, I also got a side of the fingerling potatos...disaster. They were charred little briquette lumps, which was a shame, because I had really been looking forward to them. Only about 1/4 were even edible.
Second, I ordered the cheese flatbread, thinking it would be like it said on the menu, flatbread w/cheese and herbs. However they made the mistake a lot of lesser restaurants make, they brought me a pizza. Look, quick easy difference between pizza and flatbread...sauce. If you put tomato sauce and cheese on it, it is a flatbread pizza. If you MEAN flatbread pizza you should say that on the menu. No big, it still tasted good, except again...soggy. Like, fall apart soggy. A shame.
Third, I went for the cheesecake for dessert. First problem w/this? It took 15 minutes to get my cheesecake. Not even kidding. They weren't that busy, and my server stopped by twice while I was waiting to refill my water. Not once did he say, "hey, that'll be up in just a moment" or offer any explanation. Weird. Second problem, when it finally does come, it is a bell jar with an inch of cheesecake in the bottom, a combination of canned fruit and candied nuts on top of that, and about 3 inches of whipped cream filling the top of the jar. Do you have any idea how hard that is to eat? Ridiculous. I was angry because actually tasted good, but it was so hard to eat!
In my book, 3 near misses. They're so close to being a really good restaurant, but right now they just aren't there.
