| - You know what I mean when you taste the first mouthful of food and you immediately know this place will be on your "come back" list? This is one of those places.
I'm docking a star for service. The food was awesome. Tried the broccoli salad, bacon jam, butter burger, steak, and the bread pudding.
Broccoli salad - wonderful mix of sweet, sour, crunchy, and creamy. Refreshing. Burger and steak were cooked perfectly - medium rare, just the way we like. (Medium rare meaning red in the middle, you have no idea how hard it is for people to get medium rare right). Bacon jam was so smokey and slightly sweet - just wish they weren't so chintzy about the brie and bread. I mean, 5 pieces of bread for all the jam?? Come on, now. The interior is very industrial-y, raw material-y feeling. Very unique.
We were catching Book of Mormon after dinner and let our bartender know. We sat at the bar as there was no other seating when we arrived. We let her know when we first sat down and she promised she would get us out of there in time. We ordered everything up front (including dessert) but ended up waiting and waiting for the bread pudding after the meal. We told her to cancel it and it ended up showing up right as we were leaving. At this point we were already late so we each scarfed down a bite and ran out the door. It also seemed more important to her to flirt with her fellow bartender than see if we needed anything. We all wanted another round of drinks but could not get her attention. By the time she noticed, we were done with our meal and it was a little late for another round. Is it customary for bartenders to take away your glass when you still have at least two drinks left? I felt like I still had a good amount of beverage left when the bartender tried to take away my glass. Maybe it was our fault for catching a show after dinner but we thought an hour and a half would be sufficient. Guess not.
