| - THE ONLY THINGS THAT SAVED THIS FROM BEING A ONE-STAR IS THE BEER WE GOT TO TRY & THE WAITER!
Everything else was a definitely a one-star! Let's start with the "clam chowder" - it was liquefied mashed potatoes with a couple of clam pieces thrown in. Next came the "caprese salad" - it was 3 cherry tomatoes uncut, 3 small mozzarella balls uncut, lots of crustini, balsamic sprinkled with dry basil & side salad w/dressing... all on a 7 inch plate for $8. Then came the main sandwich dishes: rib-eye steak with leek fondue on a ciabatta ordered medium rare - came on wheat french bread, 3 small pieces of dry, well-done SIRLOIN steak, the sauce was absorbed into the bread & nothing else. 2nd plate was a veggie sandwich - which wasn't bad, we split it as the steak sandwich was not good. Now let's talk about the fries, partially uncooked, extremely oily, wilted, have to say they looked good but were completely inedible!!
So we came here on a Groupon deal & when it was time to pay - the bartender girl shorted us $6 & called it a Deal Chicken. I was polite in confronting her and she was extremely rude in her response. She said the computer would not let her discount alcohol. I told her the Groupon did not exclude alcohol therefore she should apply our entire discount. She was angry & said she would talk to manager. Well, obviously he gave us what was RIGHT! She didn't even look at me when she handed me the new bill.
Now let's talk about the good things... our waiter Cord, oh what a saving grace at this place, we wished he would find a more promising job! We left him a higher than average tip to show him that we appreciated his service! Also we tried a beer that we have been curious about, Session beer (light & dark)- it was surprisingly tasty & a nice find. We will be purchasing that in the future!
I feel bad about a dying business, but sometimes you should let dead dogs lie..... or bury them! Ugh, hate to say it, but I think this place's time is limited. Sad.
