The Service: Comically pretentious
- First time I walk in and the most absurdly pretentious hipster prods me to find out if I have a 'reso'. I didn't but knew i had to come back
- Second time, (no reso needed), sit down for what ended up being an incredibly tasty lunch.
- If I wasn't a lighthearted person I would have found our service downright rude, condescending and unprofessional... I just found it hilarious. Part of the experience.
- The forks are put in a cup beside our table.
- The waiter asks us "why dont you be a team player and grab the forks" as she brings our first order
- She was so shocked I didn't set the table with my fork BEFORE she brought the food she scolded us and begrudgingly reached over our table to start doing it before rudely instructing us to. Condescendingly remarking that we must "expect someone else to set the table at home"
- Conversely... we were just waiting for our food before we whipped out the cutlery... In my mind its rude to presumptuously and eagerly set that stuff up before the food comes. It's almost like it might say "hurry up were ready". We were happy to do it and laid our cutlery down with a genuine smile. Just saw no reason to do it before the food came...
- The waiter serves the food while saying "food".
- Strange experience but....
The Food: Undeniably delicious
- Clever
- Interesting
- Comforting
- Great portions
- Inspiring options
- The grits, sauce, everything about them is unreal.
Edit: now been a few times. great food.
Update: July 2015. Service is lovely! These people care about good food and the OX tongue quesadilla I just had screams that!
