I don't write a ton of reviews unless I am struck negatively or very positively. This restaurant did both.
Upon arriving the front hostess stand made us feel like a burden and unwelcome. "Oh sorry you can't have a drink at the bar, we require to be sat....BUT you can hang out over in that one section." Ummmm OK? So we have taken a chance on patronizing your new business and are made to feel like nuisances. Not cool. I think that this restaurant should work on messaging this in a MUCH nicer way. Like...HEY! we are so happy you are trying us out. We want you to hang out while we find you a table and Tony over at the bar would be happy to serve you!?" That might be better.
We had walked a mile from our apt to get there, so stayed to try the drinks which were fabulous! I wanted to hate them but I didn't. Perfection.
But the hostess again, BIG MISS...."I can seat you but are you going to order food?" Ummmm yeah, do we need to qualify with a spend to qualify for a freaking table. RUDE.
Anyway, we sat down and the food was awesome. Glazed Carrots. SO GOOD. Avacado lobster toast. YES!
My advice, the restaurant needs to work on charm and treating it's customers like guests. They have nailed the food. Work on that and I will give you 5 stars.
