| - Love grassroots, so decided to try out twisted grove. Was disappointed to say the least. Started with brussel sprouts, and they were delicious. Others at my table complained they were burnt, but I thought they were just crispy enough.
Main courses were marginal at best. Wife ordered the short ribs and gnocchi. Gnocchi was good, but short ribs were lacking flavor. I had the roasted chicken with stuffing and grits. Stuffing was delicious, but chicken left a lot to be desired. Portion was very healthy, but one piece of the chichen was extremely dry. This was not a one off as another person at the table ordered the chicken and had the same problem. He also ordered a side grilled cheese sandwich at the servers recommendation, which he prompted was the best part of his meal (@$3). His wife had the crab cakes, and as other reviewers have said, were delicious (disclaimer: I didn't try) -and these were one of the most expensive dishes at $29. My dining companion did mention to the server that the chicken was dry and didn't eat it and the server responded "did you want me to tell someone about it? ", to which my companion responded "I just thought that you should know". And for full disclosure, I did eat all of my chicken as I was starving, and I don't typically complain unless the food was atrocious. In this case, just not good.
It would have been nice to at least get a manager table touch, or been offered an apology for our mediocre meals. Considering we spent around $200 last night on dinner (with booze), you'd think the manager would at least come check on the table.
Dissappointing. From now on, we'll stick to grassroots.
