| - I'm no food snob, but I do enjoy dining experiences.
After a night in Tivoli Village, we decided on this restaurant. Yelp listed it as "Hot and New". We definitely wanted to see what was good about this place.
We ordered a bunch of dishes, to share, and we left wanting a little more. Not in terms of being full, but in terms of being blown away by what we ate.
THE POSITIVES:
-Great drink selection!
-The dirty mac and cheese was wonderful.
-The nachos were delicious.
-The service and wait staff were attentive, cool and the manager delivered a re-fire on our clams.
THE NEGATIVES:
- I ordered the steamed clams and the first order was way too salty. The salty broth overpowered everything. I also had a lot of grit between my teeth from those clams. I'm not sure if they washed the clams, but it was a lot of sand. I asked the waitress if she could get me a new order and she did. The manager brought us the new dish and, yes, it was less salty, but the grit was still there. At that point, I didn't feel like waiting and I didn't want to seem like that a**hole that is never satisfied. It's a shame because i really wanted to enjoy that dish.
THE OKAYS:
-The artichoke was okay.
-The smoked onion dip was okay.
-The BBQ chicken wings were not great.
-The cheese fondue was okay. I didn't mind the truffle oil, but my friend wasn't too crazy about it.
OVERALL:
I should've gotten a burger or something more of a main course. I can't say that this restaurant will be on my rotation of "go to" places to dine, but I'll probably give it another chance sometime down the road.
