| - I have a lot of friends who like this place, and I have no idea why.
First of all, the food isn't very good. I came last week after hearing they had a new chef, and the steak was tiny for $20-something, plus absolutely doused in salt. The cauliflower and quinoa is also a mess, just not tasty at all. My date got a bolognese that wasn't great either, though he thought it was ok.
Second of all, the bartender talked primarily to my date, and I found that to be pretty rude. I wear an engagement ring and I think it was pretty clear we were together -- why she found it necessary to ask him if he had been there before, if he liked the food, and if he needed more to drink but not me any of those questions is beyond me. It's like sales 101, no matter what you're dealing: talk to the woman or you're toast!
Third, it's loud and crowded on Fridays and Saturdays -- expensive enough for a date place but no ambiance for a date on those nights.
***I downgraded this to one star from two stars after someone who I assume is affiliated in some way with the restaurant sent me a nasty Yelp message for my review that I just noticed. If it happens again I will get my friends who strongly dislike it here to write their own one-star reviews also.
