| - Good food, bad service.
Our party of six sat down at a trapezoidal table with a hole in the middle of it, on various benches and stools that were a bit too high for the table. I appreciate that they are being modern and hipster but, the seating arrangement was a bit awkward and uncomfortable. The rest of the decor was cool, I guess.
The food here was great, but overpriced. We tried the lettuce wraps and smashed avocado. Lettuce wraps were really good, there were three sauces to try, but there was simply not enough lettuce to go around and the rest of the ingredients had to be eaten by themselves. For 12 dollars they could include at least some more lettuce to put stuff in. The smashed avocado is basically guacamole and chips, the guac was seasoned really nicely. Now, you have to understand that me saying that lettuce wraps are good is more meaningful than you might think. I am a meat guy - I have probably never eaten a lettuce wrap or anything that vaguely resembled a lettuce wrap before, but my mother and cousins wanted to try it, and it was a hot day and I felt like I needed something refreshing.
For the entree I tried the lamb kefta burger. It was really good, the meat was rich, the tzatziki goat cheese and pickled red onions provided a nice contrast to each other - a nice fresh crunch along with a pleasant creaminess. Although not the best lamb burger I've had, it was satisfying.
What wasn't satisfying was the server - she was very unfriendly and seemed like we were bothering her with everything we asked. Two of us ordered a second beer right before our entree and it never came, and we were charged for it. They took it off the bill of course, and she mentioned she had a "drink runner" and we should have let her know, but after our entrees came, we never saw her again until it was time for the bill, so we couldn't have let her know anyway. It may not be the server's fault entirely, but there was clearly some sort of miscommunication.
