| - Really wanted to like this place -- it's close, I love chicken, and I love The Grind, but they made it hard to enjoy. Maybe just some opening week rough spots, but I can't recommend it.
We made a reservation in advance for 6, and they squeezed us into a booth that probably should only hold 4. I can live with that. Nice selection of craft beers and wines, and I like that you can order 1/2 or even 1/4 glasses as a "taster".
Server was polite, but tough to track down. Food came out slowly, inaccurately, and was just not that great. Parents' request for white-meat chicken was botched and had to be sent back. Wife's order came out late and was totally wrong, came out wrong a 2nd time, but the 3rd time was the charm. The rotisserie chicken itself was decent, but nothing you couldn't get at several dozen other places in town. Daughter's pork sandwich was practically swimming in the bleu cheese sauce -- guys, a little goes a long way. Wife's fish was o.k., but the chickpea side dish was bland & uninteresting. Creamed corn was very tasty, though. Due to the kitchen/server mishaps, we had to race through dinner even though we had allowed for plenty of time.
Overall, just nothing that would bring me back. Too many other good options around.
