It seems they spent all of their money making the restaurant look great so couldn't spend anything on making the food great.
Don't get me wrong... The food wasn't bad. It just wasn't great. There isn't anything that I thought, "Yum" after eating.
Cheddar puffers = cheesy bread. Tasty but needed to be softer.
I had the Kobe beef carpaccio for a starter. Beef and bacon sounds amazing... a little too salty for me. It was still ok.
My friend had the crab cake. It was good. Baked crab in the shape of a circle. Nothing amazing about it other than it's called a crab cake and not breaded and fried.
I had the chicken entree. It was cooked well and juicy. The franks is Frank's Red Hot sauce and there was hardly any on the plate. In fact, I was halfway through it before I found just a little line of it on my plate. Was the chicken cooked in it? I'm not sure, but there wasn't enough to taste it with my dish.
My friends ordered the butter potato side. It reminded me of box mashed potatoes with a pound of butter melted into it. Great for 3rd grade; but my palate has changed quite a bit in the last 20 years.
The service was great and my drinks were good. The ideas for the food seem exciting, but what is served is pretty boring.
