Walked in on a Saturday night, hoping to find a table as most places on State Street were full. We were seated immediately in the window with a great view of the Capitol. First impression, the interior of the restaurant is beautiful.
Our server left much to be desired. Quiet, no personality, didn't explain anything or offer suggestions. Was there to take our orders and once to check on our meal. We wondered if this was just the vibe of the place but heard/ saw the waiter behind us excited to be at his job.
We ordered the Brussel sprouts: (my favorite!!) delicious flavor but an unnecessary add of cilantro. Mac and cheese: kind of blah and lacking a good cheese flavor. The Bread with honey butter was great. Flank Steak was tough and lacking any real flavor, we did not enjoy it nor finish it.
I had hoped we would receive a decent amount of food but we both felt the portions, quality, and pricing did not match up. Way too little food. $9 dollars for Brussel sprouts? You can get 3x the Brussel sprouts with Nueskes bacon for cheaper across the street at Rare.
The dessert was amazing. We had the pumpkin doughnuts with coffee ice cream and caramel. I'm a sucker for coffee ice cream though.
An enjoyable experience, but portions are a bit small and our server needed to go home and take a nap.
