| - I'm going to be all over the place with this review. That will pretty much match the experience I had here.
First drink, PERFECTION! I chose the White Grapefruit Cosmopolitan with Absolut Ruby Red, white cranberry juice and lime. Second drink, not so much. Way too much white cranberry juice and not enough Absolut. No one likes a weak drink, lame!
Since it was my first time here, I didn't realize that if you sit outside, you're only allowed to order off the bar menu. I like that and I don't. The "cheap" side of me likes it because, well, I'm cheap. Cheap here equals $16 compared to $32 for a full menu item. The other part of me thinks if it's a nice night out, why wouldn't I want to dine outside with a full menu. Whatevs, no biggie.
My eyes zeroed in on the Lobster Mac-N-Cheese, of course! And for $16 it better be darn good! Totally worth it. The cheese was nice and creamy with big pieces of lobster and bread crumbs on the top. I'd give that 4 stars!
We also ordered a mix between a meat, cheese and Charcuterie Platter. So the cheese, solid (how do you mess cheese up?). Sweet pickles, best part of the platter. The meat....straight outta the Giant Eagle deli section. It was a poor mans excuse for prosciutto and bologne. Gross. Don't order!
Factor in pretty inconsistent service between our server being there ALL the time to totally disappearing at the end of the meal when we wanted the check and you've got a iffy experience.
I'm not throwing in the towel, I would come back and try out the full menu in the dining room. All I would ask for is a complete package...that's not too much to ask for, is it?!
