| - So, we have been to Dive a handful of times and always had solid food. They usually have a decent tap list and the appetizers and small plates are reasonably priced and tasty.
Our most recent visit we tried the bacon wrapped dates, Mahi Mahi tacos, and Flank steak with risotto. Now, I have certain expectations when it comes to fish tacos. They specified that is comes with "Asian slaw and Chipotle cream sauce". Well, the slaw was flavorless and wilted, no crunch at all, and just sad. The cream sauce was also bland, and instead of a slight drizzle it was a huge smear... I will say that the Mahi was a nice portion and seemed to be good quality. But totally ruined by the slaw and sauce. Husband's steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly, but the risotto was pretty bland and undercooked. Bacon wrapped dates were okay, but they came with this weird pineapple salsa that had an odd vinegar flavor and they were covered in a BBQ sauce that was overpowering.
Service was disappointing also. They weren't overly busy, but once the food runner dropped off our entrées we didn't see our server again (so no chance of getting a second beer...) and pretty much had to chase her down to get the check.
All in all, I would stick to the basics on the menu. The name says it all, Dive bar, stick to bar food.
