I hate to beat up a place too much, as we ate there just days after opening and there's always kinks to work out with the menu and service. I will say the server was nice and they tried really hard. They also had about 5 hostesses on staff so there was no wait to be seated.
However--and this is a big however--the food was awful. Awful as in the worst meal I've had dining out in years. In addition to the tempura fried pickles missing the mark (batter was just odd), the Stella tap clearly being hooked up to the Bud Light keg (my palate isn't that refined but I can tell BL from SA) everything was not just "meh" but cooked in a way you would cook food for your worst enemy. The baked beans were worse than the cheapest canned beans you could buy, the mashed potatoes LL ordered made instant potatoes desireable, and the mac n' cheese made me long for Kraft.
Believe it or not, with all this being bad--it's not the worse! First, the HH specials are probably the weakest I've ever seen...why even have them? The ONLY specials are domestic draws. That's it. Nothing off the $11 martinis. Nothing off import drafts. REALLY??? My last gripe is the entree, advertised as "prawns" with andouille sausage. Not prawns. Regular friggin' shrimp. Maybe 5 total. Drowned in oil. On a stick. $2 worth of food for $20.
Oh, and BTW the whole "concept" is everything goes on a stick (even the sandwiches). And the whole focus point of the decor is some cheesy fire "screensaver" projected on a wall.
So in closing...I guess I was hard on the place. But the server was nice. If it's around next year the owner has some deep pockets. You expect hiccups with a new place, but build-out on this took several months which is more than enough time to put together a menu. Enough, I don't want to relive the meal!
