| - Hooooo boy. I hate to do this, but.. ugh.
I came here with my parents and sister for some drinks and dinner. It looked really promising from the outside - like a cute, quaint little restaurant, so I assumed it would at least be a decent experience. We sat down on some couches near the bar for drinks and appetizers for happy hour and planned on going to the dining area for dinner afterwards. My sister and I both ordered cocktails from their happy hour menu - I had a "Skinny Colada" and she had something that was supposed to be like a lemon drop, and they were some of the weakest drinks we've ever had. They were both drinkable, but.. meh. Not even worth the five dollars we paid.
The bread they served was pretty good, and the crab cakes we got were good too. That's kind of where the high points end. We got calamari, which was 90% the tentacle parts which are okay when cooked well but totally creep me out when they aren't.. and these weren't. My parents still wanted to stay there for dinner (for the sake of convenience), but I wasn't convinced that their fairly pricey food would be worth it, so I ordered a happy hour burger. We moved to the dining area where my sister got a steak salad, and my parents got things that were apparently forgettable to me. My sister ordered the steak on her salad medium-rare, and it was the toughest piece of steak I've ever tasted in my life. I honestly couldn't even chew it, which is pretty horrible for a restaurant called "Seared." My happy hour burger was pretty awful too, but I was just thankful I hadn't ordered something from the regular (and moderately expensive) menu.
The most ridiculous part of the evening had to do with our bills. First they tried to charge us full price for ALL of our drinks, and then when we reminded them that they were during happy hour they only reduced the price of my parents beers. One of the waitresses even told us that the cocktails that my sister and I ordered weren't on the happy hour menu.. which was the only drink menu we looked at. Did she think that I just imagined a "skinny colada" on my own? For some reason everyone involved kept getting so confused over the prices of the drinks on their own happy hour menu multiple times! A manager/bartender apologized about the situation, which I guess was nice, but it was still one of the most bizarre billing mix-ups I've ever experienced before.
We used a Groupon here, but even that didn't make it worth the visit. Sorry, Seared.
