| - SERVICE
This is my first review where the place and service were good enough for me to consider giving the place a 3 despite the food, but really, I came for the food, ya know.
Everybody smiles offensively, not defensively, quick with service, think it's a biz crowd, so time is of the essence, boom, boom, order, 2 min, apps, same for rest, of course it's summerlic so prob they're stockpiling back there.
FOOD
Ya know, I knew going in that this was an O&B offering, yeah, I knew, and, for some god unknown reason, I went anyway, despite never having a single good exp with O&B brand. Either I'm getting more particular or O&B is getting more egregious.
Crab cakes, baked dry, the sauce kinda compensates, big though, this sucker, the sauce is uh, off, too, like it came out of a jar or something, not made in-house, is it poss? Has O&B decided to factory-produce sauces for all its restosÉ
Porchetta was just pulled pork, is that misleading? I'm googling now and it's popping up as ya know the rolled up roasted kind as served @ Porchetta & Co. The foccacia is fakakta. Kettle chips? Some freakin mayo over them, wtf?! These chips were even the decent store bought kind ... thin and now moistened by the mayo so a bit soggy.
Dessert, oh boy, yup, rum cake coulda been set deco in rum diary, not meant to be eaten only seen, inedible, that sauce, coloured sugar whipped up.
So overpowering the sauces, so bland the food, and so mediocre, which is putting it nicely ... I'd rather eat @ Big Smoke for these calories and cloggers.
Freakin O&B dressed up crap strikes again!
