| - I was looking forward to trying this place since we had a City Tin coupon and it has a decent Yelp rating. Sadly, there wasn't much to write home about.
First, there's no sign out front (it's underneath Samba). The GPS told us we were there, but we couldn't see it, so we walked up and down both sides of the street until we saw the menu out front and a small sign hanging from their patio gate.
Secondly, upon entry, there's no wait staff to greet you nor is there a sign saying 'seat yourself'. At least I didn't see one. (You seat yourself.)
We were promptly brought menus and a list of beers on tap. After that the service was nearly non-existent. We ordered a beer, a soda and started with the Baked Potater Tots. The tots are about 4x the side of normal tater tots and they were pretty good. Surprisingly, I didn't think they had a lot of flavor, but my husband did.
For dinner, I ordered the Sunset Burger with a side salad and my husband ordered the Seoul Patrol sandwich with fries. We sat around for quite a while talking and didn't realize how much time had gone by. The waitress had come and gone with the appetizer plate and didn't ask if we wanted refills or anything. After some more time had gone by she comes over to apologize as she had forgotten to put in our order and our meal would be on her.
Dinner came out relatively quick after that and we were asked if we wanted refills at that time. The side salad was a mix of greens, two slices of tomatoes, some pickles and dressing. It was good. The greens were tender and the veggies seemed to be fresh. The Sunset burger, though, wasn't good. It was so heavy from having guacamole, egg, melted cheese and jam that after a while it became complete mush. Neither of us liked the flavor either. My husband didn't care for this Seoul Patrol sandwich, but I had a bite and thought it was pretty good. It had great flavor and texture. The fries were also decent.
The waitress came back to check on us, we asked for a box, waited for another 10-15 minutes and we left. By this point it had been an hour and a half since we sat down, for essentially two burgers, and after seemingly being forgotten about all night we just wanted to leave.
I'm sure there are other items on the menu that taste better, but between the slow service, the lackluster food and atmosphere, it's highly unlikely that we'll be returning.
