| - I know we should perhaps give them some leniency bc it was restaurant week, but if the purpose of restaurant week is to drum up interest for the rest of the year, they need to step up their game.
We'd heard about the amazing views, but were (reluctantly) seated at a table right by the entry. no views to be had. i asked if there were any other options, but they said it would be a 45 min wait. ok. fine.
the bench seat is a solid 4 inches higher than the other seats at the table. awkward.
an amuse bouche was delivered. no explanation as to what it was. it was fried. it was basically a hushpuppy-- nothing bad, but "amuse bouche" is quite the title for a hushpuppy.
apps were decent all around. the glaze with the avocado was a lil strong, but as a whole, it was a delicious app. husband had calamari wish was good (but how can you go wrong with fried?). friend had something else...don't know what it was. he wasn't fond of it. he ate it, but was underwhelmed.
pretzel bread appeared. the butter that came with it was aaaawesooome.
i lucked out with the salmon entree. friends had short ribs that were served with chopsticks, tho i have no idea how one cuts up a chunk of cow with a chopstick. the meat was not sliced. the lobster mac and cheese was forgettable.
dessert was decent toffee cake with a too-sweet topping and a delicious apple sauce. the brownies were hard as rocks. lil hockey pucks with decent flavor, but brownies should be warm. period.
all in all, we won't be back.
