Wow, I have to say we were both underwhelmed...and I had hoped for so much more. I loved the building from the get go...had been there before and thought it was brilliant to open a restaurant in that space. How cute! Cozy and charming. Loved it.
We arrived at 2:30 on a Saturday and we were told to take a seat - and then we waited quite a while for someone to come and take our order. They never asked us if we wanted water, and the drink I had ordered was not available so we both ordered cold drinks - he had Ginger Lemonaide and I had Orangeaide. Loved the Ginger flavor, but both the drinks were syrup sweet - which was not what we were hoping for - we like our citrus to have some tang.
Then we ordered a bowl of soup, quesdilla with brie and onion marmalade (both for me) and a turkey sandwich with cheese and mustard sauce (him.) Both our plates arrived and were very nice...but no soup ever came. Then we waited, thinking the soup and the silverware was coming, and we waited...and waited...and no soup - and still waiting. My lovely companion got up and stole some place settings from somewhere else and in doing so we snuck into the kitchen to inquire about my soup. They said they forgot - which was cool - but apparently they had put it away and it was going to have to be reheated which meant we ended up sharing everything...except the soup.
Now for the food.....it was good - but not great. It was somewhat bland. It had great, fresh ingredients, but everything was tainted with something sweet. The soup needed salt (they don't have any on the table) and the other items were meant to be sweeter - I guess.
So maybe this is a GREAT restaurant and I was just tainted by the slow service. Or maybe we should have ordered something else. I promise to go back - I refuse to give up on this place...It's just too damn cute!
