| - It pains me to write this review since I really wanted to like this place. For the price, however.. wait, no. Even if I were paying for diner food, I'd expect better. But this is supposed to be a classy joint.
Service was friendly but we ordered tempura vegetables as appetizer and saw them sitting on the counter for almost ten minutes. I could see our server in the kitchen, chatting away, and another server drifted out, looked at the dish and ignored it. The cooks in the open kitchen could see it sitting there, too, but no one was concerned. I wanted to just go up and grab it myself. So, cold appetizer.
I had the pork chop with pimiento mac and cheese, my friend had the vegetable penne. The food was... okay. No one was really commenting on it, negatively or positively, but I know I could make better at home. The pork chop had the taste of greasy char. This brings me to the biggest negative. An open kitchen needs to be spotless, but I could see a grill backsplash that was covered with layers of old grease. Gordon Ramsay would be popping a blood vessel.
Maybe I'll try the breakfast brunch someday, but this dinner experience didn't rate better than two stars.
