| - Underwhelmed...that's my take on this place. The restaurant part of this establishment feels almost cafeteria like. Not warm or welcoming at all, very plain and open.
When we walked in the door last night, there were 4 count em, 4 hostesses standing at the front as were 2 waiters all yaking away. It seemed we were disturbing them by walking in during the middle of their conversation. All I could think was oh boy, I hope the rest of this experience isn't going to be like going back to high school. As I already noted, the restaurant was like a cafeteria, that should have been the 2nd sign to turn and go elsewhere.
Our waitress greeted us and took drink orders. I half wanted an adult beverage but was waivering. She excitedly described to me a great beer drink they serve with blueberry flavor and ginger and that it was so great and refreshing that I should try it. I gave in, reluctantly.
The drink arrived in a cup that held probably about 8 oz and most of it was ice cubes so for this $8.00 drink, I had already been screwed over!!! I mixed it took a sip and about spit it out! It tasted like I had just taken a piece of ginger and stuck it in my mouth a chewed on it and experienced the after effect of a carbonated drink. My guests also sampled the "great" drink and both said it was disgusting. We graciously pushed it aside and let the server know she could return it to the bar. DON'T GET THE FRU-FRU BEER DRINKS ON THE MENU - W A R N I N G !!!
We ordered a salad, burger and French dip. Salad was fine, burger was fine (although the tomatoes they serve are sun dried, shriveled up tomatoes) not the kind of tomato the average customer wants on a good old fashioned burger. The French dip, well, the waitress spilled 1/4 of the au jus all over the plate in transporting the meal to the table so as a result, the bottom of the breading was all soaked so when I attempted to pick it up to put in the juice, it fell apart. The bread was already not sturdy enough or toasted enough before it was drenched to be enjoyed with the au jus but the waitress pretty much made the meal a disaster in her hap hazard manner in delivering the meal to the table.
Ordered the mac and cheese side so we could all taste it. It tasted like cafeteria mac and cheese with a little spice, decent but would never want it again!
We noticed throughout the meal that the front hostess area appears to be "the place to stop or place to be" amoung the workers there are there were never less than 4-6 people hovering up there the entire time we were there. Truly unprofessional!!
All in all, after reading other reviews, perhaps this place will keep alive for a while with the bar and bands (although no music on Saturday nights???) but I don't see this place thriving based on the food alone, not in this area. Once Carlos O'Briens opens up at the other end of this complex, my guess is this place will see less customers. Although different food, you'll get what your expecting there.
Many, many other much better places to get this type of food with much better ambiance and no high schoolers chit-chatting at the front entrance.
