| - **I had initially given a 4 star review and I thought the experience was good, then I got my credit card bill and realized for this type of place the experience should have been exceptional (hence the update to 3 stars), I also spoke with a friend that had recommended this place in the past (he loves it) and I realized our dinner was nothing like the visits he had described**
Very nice and quaint location. They close after lunch and open at 5:30 for dinner. Ken was our server, him and Miguel took good care of us.
We went with a couple of friends to celebrate a birthday and had a lively conversation, but I think the meals took a long time to arrive. Our reservation was at 6pm, and our main dishes arrived around 7pm (a little past, I think)
We ordered 2 appetizers, but I think the complimentary focaccia bread and pesto would have been enough. I did like it better than the humus we ordered.
The nice touch about the humus is that it comes with slices of cucumber, radish (big white radish, not sure what is the name), and carrots, great for those with gluten intolerance or trying to keep carbs low.
I had the ribeye, no sides. I ordered it rare and the first time it was way over cooked. I brought it to the attention of our server and he immediately took it back to get me one cooked to my liking. The second one was perfect, but it took a little too long. Most of our table was done with dinner by the time I got mine (around 7:25pm).
About that, I think that when your food order is not correct they should not take it back while they get the new one (unless, of course, it was undercooked and they need to take it to cook it longer)... it is super awkward to stay at the table with nothing to eat, well, it may be more awkward for those that did get their food... what are your thoughts on that topic?
We had a variety of desserts, hubby ordered the bread pudding and loved it! I just tasted it and it was very good.
