| - There are some goods and bads about this place. Luckily one of the goods is the food. My pork chop was delicious, though I would have liked it to be cooked a few minutes longer. I ordered it well done and it was medium-ish towards the center. But, it was a hugely thick chop, so it was probably difficult to gauge. The banh mi spring roll that came with the chop was absolutely delicious. It's the best spring roll I've ever had, hands down. Nice and spicy. The fingerling potatoes with rosemary were also delicious.
My initial glass of wine was good, if unremarkable (pinot gris), and then we were intrigued by something on the wine list called a Rose Malbec. It was a sparkling wine made with Malbec. It was good, and different.
The two main problems I had were our initial wait for drinks and the atmosphere. I really don't like the rotating neon light effect. It's tacky and makes me feel like I'm in a restaurant that wishes they had opened in Miami in the 90's. The tables are also very spartan, like something from IKEA. The floor is wood or laminate, so it just looks more like a place where you would have lunch than a place for a nice dinner.
The hostess initially took our drink order, I think maybe because our server was smoking or something. That's fine, but it still took forever to get the drinks, upward of ten minutes. Apart from that, our server was really nice. Another disappointment was that they did not have Ketel One or Belvedere. I feel like all bars should have one of those two.
So, I would probably come here again, but I wouldn't hang out very long. Maybe I would sit at the bar.
