| - Eh. It seems like we had an uncharacteristic bad experience at Nook, but I figured I would share.
All in all, I would say if it's not happy hour, this place is pretty overpriced. We decided to do a little VDay pregame at Nook. Grab some drinks, a couple of apps and after some research it looked like this was a perfect choice as they did Happy Hour every day! Sweet. WRONG! Apparently there is no happy hour on Valentine's Day. Bummer dude.
Oh well, we thought, I'm sure it'll still be fun. We each ordered a beer, and started looking at our food options. Everything looked delicious, so we asked our waiter. He said the Beer Braised Pork Butt and the Arancini. We went with it. After letting our waiter know that was all we were having, his demeanor noticeably changed. It was 3:30 on Valentine's. We weren't looking for dinner! Just a little stomach love in the afternoon. From that moment forward though our waiter, who initially seemed so cool, so hip, so human, became a heartless robot. Was he there, doing what he was supposed to? Certainly. But he was also made of metal and circuit boards and became incapable of feeling or showing affection.
On to the next chapter in our saga: the food. The food came out quick, was set on the table, and we immediately looked at each other. That's it? 6 little cheesy balls and 4 pieces of bruschetta. The cheese balls were the size of ping pong balls, and the bruschetta was averaged size bruschetta: hot wheel car size. Was the food delicious? Heck yeah! Was the portion sized for ants? Probably. It was appetizers, but dang give us a little love.
This brings us to the final chapter: the bill. After Mr. Jetson Waiter brought us our check, I almost let out an audible noise. $39. We had 2 beers, 6 cheese balls, and 4 bruschetta bites. $39. Seemed a little steep. No no no, seemed incredibly steep. Like I just got pick pocketed steep. We left wondering if it was a bad dream. It wasn't. So we went home and made grilled cheeses to warm our hearts back up.
Nook is trendy and cool. But dang it's pricey for what you get. Maybe I live on a different value scale, but I would say go somewhere different or go on happy hour. (But not on Valentine's Day; there's no happy hour then)
