| - Quite a lackluster experience that I'll chalk up to growing pains. Hopefully they will get their game together relatively soon.
I came here for dinner with a friend. We sat on the outside patio on a nice October day. The first problem was no hostess being there when we first walked in. So we walked back toward the bar and were confused. At that point, they had us walk all the way back to find a hostess and then walk forward again. I wish they would have been able to seat us instead of going through this dance.
Ordered the pork belly bites for the appetizer. These were alright. Quite dry, despite the nice oil at the bottom and the bits of jalapenos. The appetizer was A-OK. I ordered a burger from my entree with a side of cauliflower bites, while my friend ordered The Grouper.
My burger was fine. It was cooked medium rare, which was awesome, but the amount of meat was underwhelming. The burger was mostly bread. The buns were nice and toasted, but as you bit into the burger: the overwhelming flavor was the bun. Way too much bread and too little beef. The fries were delicious and the cauliflower bites was the highlight of the meal.
My friend ordered the Grouper. He was severely disappointed. I was even disappointed for him. They gave him like a 3oz piece of it. It was so small and the most expensive item on their menu! Such a ridiculously small portion. It was almost insulting. If they are going to serve such small portions, they should definitely either say how many oz's are going to be served on the menu or have the waiter/waitress warn you.
The side salad he asked for never came. He was under the impression it would be a side as the Grouper came on a bed of greens, but didn't really have any sides. When the side salad came, it was a bunch of measly lettuce and a few grape tomatoes with a heaping of dressing. And they charged us $5 for it. Ouch.
The coffee I asked for, the waitress spilt on our table. No big deal at all. However, the coffee was lukewarm. Which was probably a good thing because otherwise there would have been some injuries. The waitress apologized for spilling coffee and overall was pleasant, but never asked us how our meal was. We didn't bother contesting the $5 salad charge because we were in a hurry to get out of there.
Overall, I could see this place being nice once they get the kinks worked out, but my feedback would be:
1) Have a better system in place in case customers miss the hostess, especially with such a large area.
2) Uh, please fix your portion sizes, especially for your higher priced items. You're not a fine dining restaurant that serves 3oz pieces of fish for $26. Makes no sense. Even for your burger, if you're not going to increase the size of the beef -- decrease the size of the buns.
What you're doing right:
1) Burger was cooked medium rare. The beef tasted as it was fresh and high quality. Yay! Fries and cauliflower bites are delicious!
I hope this feedback is helpful. I haven't necessarily crossed this place off my list next time I visit, but I'd definitely be careful about ordering expensive plates of fish if I were you without double checking that they would feed a moderately hungry person.
