| - This place is hidden in the basement of a large building. The atmosphere isn't much to write about- basement-chic, dark, bar-ish. The service also isn't particularly great. Hostess was not particularly friendly when I walked in and gave my name and told her I had a reservation. The waiter was polite but had his head in the clouds. He said the bread basket in front of my dining companion and put her salad in the middle where the bread should be. He screwed up our checks, mixing our orders. When he returned with our credit slips and credit cards, he gave hers to me and mine to her.
The food is surprisingly good. The wedding soup was some of the best that I can remember ever having. The flavor was just fabulous - I can't even explain it. I had the spots. There were three pieces of fish, making for a fairly sized portion. It had a lemon beurre blanc sauce, which was really tasty. Unfortunately there was barely a drizzle of it. The vegetable of the day was a zucchini/squash medley. Cooked very nicely- not mushy, but not overly hard. Unfortunately I thought they were very under seasoned and bland. They were delicious, however, whenever I used them to scrape the dish to get the beurre blanc sauce.
My prior experience with Storms was a work holiday party. From that, I recall the food being good but the atmosphere prison-like. I will return for the food, particularly if meeting someone that works up in that part of town.
