| - So I have been here 3 times and I really wanted it to wow me each and every time but it simply doesn't. First time I was with a friend and we were drinking more than eating so when my ridiculously expensive bill showed up I almost threw up all the $12.66 martinis I had drank. Seriously?!? The only place in town where I wouldn't freak on that price is AZ88 because one martini and you are almost done in. Our server was friendly but I had to tell her to stop rushing us, she came back every 10 minutes or so wondering if we wanted our check. I told her I would flag her down when needed but that we planned on being there a while.
Second time I went for lunch and everything was ok but not amazing.
Third time was last night and it will most likely be my last. Every month 3 of my lady friends and myself try a new place, I actually was the one to suggest here. We started at the bar to have a cocktail while waiting for our whole party to arrive. When it was time to move to a table our bartender asked us to close out our tab. Didn't even offer to transfer it which is standard. We ordered a started of cheese, roasted garlic, prosciutto, cornicons and oysters. The little nugget of cheese we received was just that, a tiny little nugget. Now I am a huge cheese snob, I have my very own travel bag from Venissimo Cheese shop in San Diego and every time I visit I come home with roughly $100 worth of cheese. I know my cheese, I know the cost, I felt cheated that we each only got a nibble. The oysters were good, not gritty at all, but there were a few staple accouterments that were missing, tabasco and crackers. I ordered the beet salad which was middle of the road, but I did like that the beets didn't have a loamy taste. One of my dining companions ordered the steak which was overcooked so she sent it back. It came back better but with the same sides on the plate, they literally transferred what was on her original plate to the new one. Terrible! You don't let a plate sit under the heat lamp while you redo something, you make a whole new plate. The worst part of the evening was after our appetizer our server informed us that it was almost 9 and the kitchen closes at 9. WTF!?! We are already seated, you know we are going to order dinner, there were at least 5 tables full in our section alone and you feel the need to rush our order?!? Lame is a word that doesn't even do it justice. To add the cherry on that lame sauce sundae, they kicked us out into the cold to wait for our ride! It was freezing and all I had was a thin jacket WITHOUT gloves, I was shivering pretty bad by the time my fiance rolled up. He was pissed that there were 4 women standing outside of the restaurant we just spent a pretty penny at and if there was a place to park he would have gone in himself to complain to the manager. (Thanks for looking out babe!)
I will finish this off with the positives, they had cocktail onions. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find cocktail onion served in this town. Second their system for splitting checks is hands down amazing with us each getting charged 1/4 of the appetizer price. I haven't seen that before. Third the decor is nice.
