| - I would like to give this place 2.5 stars, but that is not an option.
Let me start by saying that this place is new, so there is room / a grace period for improvement.
With that said, I just wasn't that impressed. This is not to say the food wasn't good or the service was bad, it just didn't stand out to me. On a very positive note, it is beautifully decorated and the patio rocks.
I will start with the food. My friend and I met here for "happy hour"; we didn't learn until after we sat down and got comfy, they don't have one. Even Morton's has happy hour, why don't you??? That kind of irked me since I'm always on a budget seeing as how I go out every night. Anyways, we each got a glass of wine, easy peasy and we started to peruse the menu. Let me tell you, this is not a vegetarian friendly place. I am not a vegetarian, but I am VERY picky about my meats. We ordered a cheese plate with olives to start, good, but kind of pricey for what you get. And, I wish the waitress would have told us that the two we picked out were very similar. She was very informative and helpful when we asked her questions, but I guess she didn't feel like offering up this tidbit. After the appetizer, we both ordered salads as our entrees. I had the smoked chicken salad and my dining companion had the chopped salad. Both were very good and decent sized for entrees. The only complaint I had was there was a little too much dressing, but that can be easily fixed. I would say, all in all, the food was good, but not great. I guess I was just expecting something more. For three women to spend $80 on dinner, it probably should have been a little more impressive.
I am a big fan of Sam Fox and I think this place has potential, I think they just need a little bit of time. I don't know if I will be going back any time soon. I know I won't suggest it (maybe if someone else does). Or, maybe I will give it a month or two and try it again after they work out the kinks.
