I really hesitate to write this review, but - I am doing it with the sincere hope that it might actually help improve this place. I REALLY want to see it succeed as I work close by and would like to come here often. But...I have a bad feeling so far...
I read the reviews so far and several mentioned the exact experience/impression I have of this place after two visits (I went a second time really hoping it would be better).
1) The music is too loud. The first time I went i sat in the upstairs/outdoor bar and I was struggling to hear the people at my table less than 2 feet from me. It was not only loud, but the music selection was...odd - for this type of place (which I thought would be upscale/casual/elegant). Maybe they're going for a different scene/crowd, but this alone would keep me away. Don't get me wrong - I like music - all types, but the music here doesn't really work (in my opinion) for the location and who (I think) is the customer here.
2) Please don't make the servers wear fishnet stockings and tight black dresses. It looks ridiculous - doesn't work at all - and just adds to the "what is this place going for?" overall confusion. I like a cute girl as much as the next guy - but that's all I need to make me happy. A cute girl bringing me drinks/food and not feeling like she has to put on the Hooter's "hey I'm a cute girl paying attention to the middle age guy" schtick. It's fake and kind of silly. They're all very nice, but please managers/owners - don't make them do this.
3) The food (at least what I had on my 2nd attempt) was very very average. I had the (I think $14) green chile burger which was almost exactly as good as almost exactly the same burger at Zipp's (for half the price). Now, don't go food expert crazy on me - I'm sure there must be some difference in the quality of the beef, or something. But for me - average guy - it was not distinguishable. You've just got to step it up for this price. And...the cheesy cutting board (or whatever it is) instead of a plate - really?
Like I said - I REALLY want this place to work and still be around in 2 years. So, I'm going to go in a couple more times over the next few months and if somethings good/better I'll happily modify my review. But guys (owner/manager) there are just too many great options for great food in this area. It could be that I'm not your target customer, but...I'm a middle age professional male who works right at the intersection - so I think I am.
I am sincerely hoping for improvement...
