  • Monique Ruvolo's Independent Brewing Company has a ton of potential, but the inconsistent food quality and service kill the experience. The fried chicken sandwich that I had on my last visit was exceedingly bland. The chicken itself was cooked well, but it was completely tasteless--the batter seemed like it was just flour and water. What's the point? The cauliflower linguini was similarly bland, and if I were blind folded, I would have thought that the sauce was unsalted heavy cream. The menu alleged that the sauce was a spinach pesto with cream, but the requisite basil, parmesan and pine nuts went unnoticed. Based on the price of the dish--$13 makes it the cheapest out of all of the actual entrees--I wonder if there were pine nuts at all. Not every dish is marred by inconsistency--the rum-fried halloumi is excellent even on a bad day--but, in general, the kitchen's quality control is horrifically flawed. When I can have a steak sandwich that's actually pretty good on one visit, but on the next visit it's a chewy gristly mess, the dishes are not designed in a way that's consistently replicable, and that's a serious problem. I've actually had a good iteration of that fried chicken sandwich, which is the saddest and most baffling part. The service is as inconsistent as the food. I've had to leave the restaurant once without ordering because after fifteen minutes, no one had come to help us--no drinks, no menus, nothing. Some visits aren't much better than that, while other visits had us helped by a consistently excellent waitress. Monique Ruvolo has some great ideas, but they're all marred by the aforementioned inconsistencies. What good is a great entree concept if the cooks are unable to reliably cook the meal? Can a chef even be considered a good chef if their dishes aren't replicable, and if their staff isn't trained properly? The answer is no, for the record. I'd have to imagine that my best meals at the Independent Brewing Company were cooked by Ruvolo herself, but being a chef is about more than just cooking.
