This was simply the most bizarre experience I've had in a restaurant in years. From the minute I walked in to find no one at the reception desk, always a good sign, to the fact that Renegade BY Mod has no idea what it wants to be.
We were there on a Saturday night. The bar was full. a party was going on,with biker
bar music and a crowd to match. This was seriously loud honky tonk music. We were
there, however, to eat, thinking this was a restaurant known for food,not a bar crowd.
The menu has descriptions that require descriptions-shrooms, soil{when"s the last time you saw soil on a menu?}and sand. The cutlery is in a container in the middle of the table-another attempt to be different.
Now the food. The mushroom starter-shrooms - were actually the best thing we had.
I had scallops which were far too salty. My friend had the very thin and incredibly tough short ribs-looking and tasting like no short ribs in memory. When we told the server he said many people had complained about them-perhaps a good time to re-think them or take them of the menu, yes? We ordered a chicken dish as a replacement for the short ribs. We waited twenty five minutes. During this period our
server totally ignored us.
I live in the neighborhood which could certainly benefit from an upscale quality restaurant but this isn't it. I can't imagine this restaurant surviving nor does it deserve to with management like this.
