| - i love GF and enjoy his shows on food network so i'm glad we were able to go to his new place.. i was worried it wouldn't be open in time cuz the place's opening date was supposed to be 'late april' so we lucked out really.. anyway, the decor and attire of the staff was very rock-cowboyish, and i was enjoying the general ambiance and environment.. the bar yells out when various events happen, like some patron is celebrating something, etc, it was hard to understand what the bartenders were yelling lol.. and there's an outside patio option for diners if they choose, BUT the down side to this is it's a big open wall so w/ it being a restaurant, flies and whatnot just roam freely throughout the place and chow down, very much interrupting diners like myself! so my suggestion would be to fix up that wall and make it a revolving door instead and just have outside speakers if u want the outside diners to still hear the music lol.. i ordered The Ultimate Asian Chicken Wraps app, and in general, it was a good deal, yums all around. then i got the big dipper sandwich, and omgosh, the whole plating thing was WEIRD and i was not a fan! but b4 that, i found out that the sandwich has cheese caked on it, so i couldn't even peel it off, so they redid it w/o cheese and at no extra charge which i appreciated.. but yeah, the sandwich is a sub type w/ a bunch of prime rib meat stuffed into it lol (it had a weird smell but the meat tasted good lol, the bread got a bit soggy tho so i just ate the meat lol), it also came w/ a variety of fries w/ added flavor, and a big ass pickle (i'm a fan of certain pickles so i didn't mind and chomped on). so like i said, the whole plating of the sandwich was very awkward and messy. it's served on a cutting board type of 'plate' and it's cluttered like crazy w/ sauces in the corners, this weird downward slide for fries lol, and the sub that in my case was covered in thin onion rings which i just put to the side, oh and a big knife was stuffed underneath the sub for ur 'convenience' lol.. whoever thought this plating would be a good idea was an idiot, IMO, i would've much preferred a regular plate! the whole plating deal they did was just messy and i got crumbs everywhere... so while i'm eating, i noticed all the diners around me keep asking the servers about GF and his personality/appearances at the restaurant lol.. of course the servers are gonna say he's a great guy and whatnot, he's their ultimate boss! but yeah i may have been the only one who didn't do that lol, but i'm not gonna lie, it would've been cool as hell to see the guy in person that i watch on tv a lot lol.. anyway, the end came and there's an option to do a customer satisfaction survey which i appreciated. it's a lil handheld device inside the check booklet lol, i thought that was particularly creative and i hope GF/the management takes my comments seriously.
