| - How does this place review so well??? This was easily one of the saddest foodie experiences I've had in a looong while. First, the two stars go to the service we received, since both servers we encountered in our short stay were very nice and attentive. I guess the $1 oysters (which came with a very good gingery vinegar) should also be in those two stars, cause even with that $1 deal, I'm not giving them a 3/5. Cocktails are a disaster. My dining companion ordered the Jack Rose cocktail and we literally both were at a loss for words when it came out in a glass the size of a Moroccan tea glass! Tiny, tiny, and as the server left, we both agreed it better be the damn best tasting cocktail around to make up for its diminutive stature.... I don't believe it was the case, as she didn't order another and there were no oohs or aahs as she sipped. My whisky sour tasted simply of whisky, no complexity or sourness/tartness to it. On to the menu! Oh yeah, wait, is there a theme going on here? Miniscule cocktail, mini menu?? About ten items on the menu, with probably five apps and five "mains" consisting of various meat or meatless balls. The only appetizer that caught my eye was a veggie dish with broccoli and bean sprouts (if memory serves) but on second reading, I saw it came with cheese whiz. I've never had the *pleasure* of ingesting that mix of chemicals masquerading as a cheese product and I wasn't about to start now. For the balls, there was a chicken stroganoff ball, regular beef meatball, a meatloaf, some shrimp and smoked salmon concoction that didn't seem at all appetizing and a lentil-based ball. I might be missing a dish, but shows you how memorable the reading of it was if I cant remember one day later. We ordered the lentil-based balls just to order something besides the oysters my friend was getting, and wow, how great, three mini balls come out on a bed of pureed spinach for the lovely price of $14.50! They were uninspired, dry falafel balls basically. Oy!!! We both tried to figure out why people kept coming in, and my best guess is the good $1 oysters or maybe some beer or wine to which I didn't pay attention. We came, we saw (not much!), we paid and we left (still in a daze at what we saw), to head across to Dinette Triple Crown, where our bellies rejoiced finally, and we got a great and normal-sized cocktail like expected!
