| - I've eaten here a few times and honestly, and it's always been mediocre. And it's a shame, since it's literally a 1 minute walk away from my work. I would love to love this place, as I'd eat here all the time for lunch! But last night, whoa, what a terrible meal.
I ordered their special, which was a Fried Chicken Sandwich, featuring sliced avocado. The fried chicken was overcooked and a little too blackened. The crust was rather flavorless, and I was picking random dried herbs out of my teeth for like an hour. It was everything a piece of fried chicken should NOT be. The avocado was also not ripe. Barely edible, I opted to disassemble my sandwich and eat the chicken with tons of ketchup. And even then, I gave the rest to my companion to finish off. I chose the potatoes as my side, and they were undercooked.
My friend's meal was a $10 bowl of vegetable soup, which he did not really care for. He's the kind of guy who will finish his plate even if the food sucks, and even he struggled. Also, you shouldn't find bay leaves in your soup. Note to kitchen staff, please remove those going forth!
And yes, the beer is overpriced. I luckily ordered a beer that was on special, but my friend was shocked by how much his beers were! Over $7 for a pint?! Hell no.
The bartender who served us had a fun haircut and was pretty nice. Some of the other servers seemed stuck up. And the actual restaurant space is beautiful! The place is decked out with wood, tin ceilings, brick and cool lanterns. It's such a nice space, and it's a shame the dining experience just isn't that good.
