| - My husband and I were excited to hear about this new place on Grandview Ave! The reviews, website, and menu sounded very promising, so we made a reservation for our Anniversary dinner Saturday 6/14/14. We arrived for our 8:30 res., table not ready. Annoying, but no big deal. We had drinks at the bar & were seated about 9pm. Our waitress arrived 15 min later to take drink orders(we were really ready to order dinner at this point). We did not have drink menu's, she insisted on bringing them. Awhile after we got our drinks, she returned, asked if we had questions. We said "No, we're ready to order.", she proceeded to tell us all about the dishes on the menu anyway. I ordered the Lamb rare, she made a big deal that the chef's would love that, because they had a terrible time getting it cooked properly(medium-rare), one lady had to send hers back twice, and it still didn't seem to be done properly the third time! She returned about 10-15 min later with bread for us, another table just seated, and a third table that was finished & waiting for their check (very odd; the couple just shrugged at each other). We waited until just after 10pm, a table seated just before us was packing up their leftovers, and we were not feeling confident about whatever was going to come out of the kitchen... At this point, more than 1 1/2 hrs past our reservation, still no appetizer(which was raw tuna, not time consuming), we asked to cancel our entrees and appetizer. Our waitress brought the check within a couple of minutes with the appetizer she said she was "just bringing it out") packed up in a togo bag. We paid and left. When we got home, we opened up the Tuna Crudo...4 raw tuna medallions & accompaniments, 2 pieces of tuna had BLOOD VESSEL/VEIN CROSS SECTION in the raw tuna(not a little streak of blood, an actual blood vessel)! Gross. Dangerous? I'm not sure, but we were not about to find out.
Dissappointing & disturbing.
