| - I went there for dinner with a groupon for a meal for 2, consisting of an app, entree, and dessert from a special set menu. I do appreciate that they were prepared for groupon users, and did not make me feel awkward or like I was ripping them off by using a coupon (like many other places tend to do).
Unfortunately, the dining experience was not that great.
The decor feels very dingy. It's not so much the antique/grandma-ish style that is the issue, but the fact that everything looks worn, chipped, and like it's falling apart. The linens on the tables look faded and ill shapen from having been used a million times. Speaking of linens, they are not changed between customers, which grosses me out a bit.
The entryway is very tight and there are curtains hung all around. While we were waiting to speak to the hostess, someone opened the door from the outside and banged it into my friend who almost went flying.
We were seated at a table right next to the entrance, even though there were other tables available further in the restaurant. As a result, we were on display for everybody who came into the restaurant, and it was very cold due to being so close to the front door. Also the table was partially in the aisle, and the servers kept bumping into my friend's chair.
The service was SLOW. We arrived at 7:23, and did not receive our apps (ordinary house salads) til 8 pm. We were not drinking any alcohol, so there was no reason for them to delay it for so long. The restaurant was about half full at that point. I think the waiter was just busy flirting with a table of 3 women, who also happened to get their apps first, even though they arrived 20 min after us.
The entrees were fairly tasty, albeit portion sizes were small. I had the salmon with wasabi aioli and my friend had the stuffed chicken, both served over rice and roasted vegetables. The waiter never came back to ask how our entrees were. For dessert we both had the creme brulee, which was fairly standard. We were both fairly hungry after finishing our meals, though.
The groupon touted that the value of the food was $92. No way. It was worth what we paid for it, around $30.
I can't see myself going back... it appears like they are trying to be a fine dining establishment based on their prices, but are nowhere close. The staff is poorly trained and the food is okay, but there is nothing creative or outstanding about it.
