| - Really, this review is an "update" but Yelp removed my earlier review because I called a crappy server out by name. The good news: during my recent visit I confirmed this server no longer works here and my experience was far superior.
EXPERIENCE (past):
I decided to give this place another try after spending years avoiding it after my terrible experience when it first opened: I went out on a limb and took my father here for dinner--who was in from out of town--based on other Yelp reviews. Sadly, the food fell short, and the service TERRIBLE. When a co-worker suggested this location for lunch, while hesitant, i agreed.
EXPERIENCE (update):
Clearly my earlier experience was a mixture of "just opened" jitters and a server who had no business serving me. I was pleasantly surprised with the lunch experience (i still have to go back for dinner...) and everything about this go around certainly created urgency to come back.
FOOD:
The calamari and shrimp appetizer was good--nothing special, the baby spinach salad was delicious--not over dressed and fresh ingredients, and the french press coffee and the pear/apple tart was divine!! I would go there to sip their french press and eat that dessert any day...seriously, so good.
SERVICE:
The service was impeccable. Our server was informative, so friendly, and was very attentive--wasn't at our table too much or too less. The fact that I never had to prompt my server for a refill was amazing. This doesn't happen very often in my experience. I would call him out by name, but would hate for this POSITIVE review to be removed by the Yelp folk :)
All in all, a very solid lunch experience. Don't disappoint me at dinner, though. I'll be back :)
