| - Sorry no....this place is beyond the point of no return. I really wanted to like this place because of the location...but it's simply not worth the time or money. Its a nice spot with a lot of money dumped in to the slightly cheesy, but slick inside decor. I believe there are two families that own the place, one owner was nice, the other one seemed polite enough but kind of left you with that dirty feeling from having shaken his hand.
We got the impression that the latter, had all the control. Here goes:
Food: On its own, the food aint all that bad, honestly...but the menu itself is awkward, clumsy, and as other reviewers have stated, totally gives you that all over the place feeling that says...we do everything..but at a mediocre level at best. Think a wannabe Fridays, without the corporate experience....like your college roommate throwing together a restaurant...unimaginative, uninspired, blandly flavored and just has zero style.
Decor: Like I said, a little cheesy and cold due to the steel and wide open spaces, but meh....you could tell they spent a pretty penny for it.
Service: Wow, we're bar people and so that's where we'll be usually...we've been here a few times....seems anytime they actually get a tender that knows what she/he's doing, they lose em/let em go? What your left with seems to be owner #2's totally inexperienced sons. Nice enough, but really...a restaurant isn't really the time to play "make believe bartender" to make a good impression on your 19 year old girlfriend...why not instead pick up a few bar books?...a dirty martini really isn't thaaat complicated...and I hate having to say that this place dishes the worst overpriced drinks in town...but if the shoe fits.
I think another reviewer put it best when she said, lots of flash, but no substance...at the end of the day, this place is as shallow as the water runs.
If you decide to go to this place REGARDLESS of all the honest reviews (the ones NOT given by the owners, or friends of the family)....stick with the beer on tap...they've got an admittedly pretty decent selection.
