| - Ah I'm so upset I chose this place to go with my parents with the short amount of time I have with them while they're in town. We chose this place based on the fact they have a Saturday happy hour and the Yelp reviews.
Firstly, this is not convenient to get to. Based on that alone it would keep me from coming back. It's inside this huge office and condo building. Very beautiful surroundings with fountains and plants.
Then we walk into the restaurant. It was almost empty and smelled of cleaner. A bartender told us, from across the room and behind the bar, to sit wherever we like. We chose to sit outside because of the nice weather. The tables seemed cheap and had weathers spots. Then the waitress brought the menus... Ew. The menus were a simple one page laminated sheet, except they were so bent and stained it was disgusting. I would expect similar menus at the sketchiest biker bar in the world. How on earth can they hand these to customers? Shows the owner must be very distant from the restaurant. There was no happy hour menu, it was just verbally relayed to us.
Happy hour drinks were pretty good prices, $5 for their specialty cocktails. I ordered a strawberry basil drink, and then after tasting mine, my dad ordered the same. His came out and was a totally different color - it was pink while mine was more of a light yellow. Later my dad asked the waitress about it and she said, "oh I forgot to muddle the strawberries in hers." Understandable, but she should have said something when she brought his instead of confusing us.
Food was mediocre. The waffle fries were good but served with ketchup, no special sauces, so a little disappointing for it to be on the appetizer menu when it's just a side of fries. I can't say I could taste any garlic herbs on the fries. Meatballs were incredibly unremarkable. I can't comment on my parents' food as I didn't try it but they seemed to like it.
Service was good.
