| - We've been meaning to try this place for quite a while and the opportunity finally afforded itself. The parking lot was full, which we took as a good sign and lots of happy people enjoying their food inside & outside. Lively atmosphere, well appointed interior. The staffer who greeted us said she had 3 available seats at the bar or a high-top (if we didn't want outside). We told her there were 4 of us, so we'd take the high-top. She then brought us 3 menus and proceeded to take the 4th place setting away. We reminded her once again that there were 4 of us. This does not bode well.
We ordered drinks, which took quite a while to arrive. We kept seeing the server taking food/drinks to other tables. Finally, another server brought us our drinks. The first server returns to take our order. We had decided to try the garlic fries appetizer - she asked if we wanted to place our dinner order, too. Sure, we said, as long as the appetizer and entrees don't come out together. No problem.Again we waited...and waited. Then, low and behold, our entrees arrive- served by yet again a different staff person (may have actually been the one who brought our drinks, I'm not sure.) I commented that I guess we weren't going to get our appetizer after all, and she was surprised & offered to take our food back to bring out the appetizer. Really??? Just leave the food and cancel the app.
Now for the food. Our order included the SOP Pizza (sausage, carmelized onion, roasted red peppers), The Egg Pizza and the Mac &Cheese. The SOP was tasty, crust was a bit soggy, though. The portion of the Mac & Cheese looked a bit small but was told it was good - not great, but good.
Overall, the service was lacking - I'm not sure a server is actually assigned to a table as it seemed new faces keep showing up at ours - very confusing. There was live music in the bar area - wasn't too fond of his music (but that's personal taste) but it was a bit loud to carry on conversation. Food was fine - again, not WOW, and for the pirce point, I would expect more.
I think the majority of the cars in the packed parking lot were for The Main Ingredient which is right next door (and has awesome food at a very reasonable price point!) Would I return? Maybe. But given other options, I'll probably go there.
