| - The husband and I stopped by for lunch today, and I realized that I have neglected to review this spot, even though we've eaten here at least 3-4 times.
I like Corbin's - it has a decent vibe, clean design, nice service, and good food... but there isn't anything that really puts it into the 4-5 star category.
We generally like the food quite a lot... but there have been few misses along the way. Slight inconsistencies are a bummer - and make it drop a little on my list of places to return to. We've really enjoyed their wings, tasso ham and caramelized onion flatbread pizza-thing, and pulled pork sandwich. Today, I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich. There was MUCH to like about this sandwich - amazing sourdough bread that was delightfully crispy, 3 cheeses, and perfect applewood-smoked bacon (yum!)... however, the sandwich dropped a notch when I discovered that the slices of tomato were the most sad-looking, under-ripened slivers that I've seen at a decent restaurant in a while. Sad. And oddly, I usually don't even care for tomatoes... but I kind of wanted some today. Instead, they just got pulled out and set on the side of the plate. Husband had the Greek salad... he liked the unusual addition of golden raisins, but said it was the saltiest salad he's ever eaten. Not a winner.
The service has always been perfectly pleasant (although I felt badly for the unfortunate woman who was in the path of a dropped glass of water today! Accidents happen..), but there has never been truly outstanding service at any of our visits.
All-in-all, you'll get a good meal and decent service... but it isn't anything to write home about.
