The staff fended off one-star review last moment.
I agree with the reviewers that there is not nearly enough vegetable-focused dishes. We ordered 6 plates and while Mixed Greens, Bread plate, and Papardelle were on point after that we waited and waited and waited for the other 3 dishes. Finally after a lot of nagging the waiter, shrimp and grits showed up. Shrimp was overcooked and bland, grits were ok with cheddar cheese mixed in haphazardly. Then finally 2 beef dishes showed up and that's when shit hit the fan. By that time we had been at the table for 1.5 hours and frankly I lost all the appetite already. My brain came to conclusion that the meal was over. But back to those 2 awful dishes. The hangar steak that by the way the waiter had never asked us how to cook, was rare. Parsnips were hard to bite, undercooked as well. Beef cheeks were....I don't even know what the hell that was. Instead of tender flaky a bit gelatinous cheek cut it was some kind of chewy like a leather piece of beef. Cutting through it let alone chew through it was virtually impossible. I refuse to believe it was the stated cut.
I was just about to write a one-star review when someone looking like a manager finally came over and apologized and took both dishes that we barely touched off our bill. Then someone who I assume was a chef came over and also apologized and said they had been going through 7 iterations testing with shrimp grits. Why on Earth would you do such testing on the customers? May lose them before you get to the end of testing.
The meal ended with free dessert that the waiter said "takes seconds to prepare". Thanks for not even pretending that it was made fresh. All in all a very disappointing experience.
