This place definitely fell way short of that. Came here on Monday night with a group of my friends. It was an extremely slow night, but it seems like the place was definitely overstaffed. Seems like a great combo right? Nope. Our server was never to be found...wait...actually I found him just talking and with other servers with nothing else to do at the bar. Finally got his attention we decided to order some food, ordered the branzino, paella, French onion soup, and chicken sticks. I'm not quiet sure what this restaurant's theme is, but the branzino was prepared as California style with guac and corn. Paella was good and it was packed with seafood, which is obviously Spanish. Then the French Onion soup (you should know where that's from) was too sweet. Then the chicken sticks...ground up chicken fried and served with honey wasabi sauce (Southern?). Oh yea, there's also oysters, matzo ball soup, and fondue.
Is this restaurant trying a little too hard? Yes, I would definitely say so.
Also, asked the server what the well rye whiskey was, he answered "I'm not sure, probably Jack Daniel's." Seriously...please train your servers of the restaurant's basics. We were the only table that's bigger than a 2 top and the manager never came over to check on us, and actually the server had difficult looking for him when he needed his manager approval at the POS.
Save your money and go somewhere else.
