Definitely not going back. My bf and I stayed at King Eddy and searched on Yelp for a place close by. Being a new yelper...we trusted the yelp community in their reviews. Found great ones...in 2014 and before then. So HUGE reason I'm writing this is because their rating needs an update and I wish we had gone to Carisma or someplace else and spent a more worthwhile $150.
THE START
Called for resos... they said a table was available for 9:30 and the bar was open for 9 if we would like to come earlier. Great.
9:30. Greeted by manager nicely. Sat us at a table and section that was seemingly random.
SERVICE
Our server, Joni, was quick to drop off menus telling us there were Valentine's day specials without any further description - all the while we were standing next to our table with our coats on. Not very welcoming at all. Great start to poor service.
That continued with poor knowledge of the wine menu when I inquired between the noir or syrah. Poured my glass to taste and also poured my glass after tasting. Basic server and wine service etiquette.
FOOD
Our mains came out. The Linguine pasta was below average. Mushroom risotto was a bit better earning an okay.
For dessert, cheesecake was flavorless and gelato was ordinary.
THE END
Left wrapped peanut butter cups to take home.
THE NIGHT
First impressions last and even these delicious peanut butter cups that I'm enjoying right now will not make up for my return here. Best part was my date and dim lights which I can take to some other place, so there I go!
