| - Every time I've gone here, usually week nights, there's always an initial and pungent smell of vomit possibly from last nights lets-go-have-dinner-turn-crazy-night-on-the-town vibe I get from this place.
Once I overcame the smell and was seated from the strangely under-dressed hostess, our waiter came to get our order in an even stranger bandana jean look that was very curious.
We started with the pretzel Gouda fondue appetizer. Very gooey and delicious as expected, maybe too much salt, but gooey and delicious. He had the salmon and I tried the French Dip. The salmon was delicious and none was left on the plate. I'm a sucker for French Dips, the one's that melt in your mouth and have a great au jus. I was sadly disappointed here. To start, a strange mayo based dressing is applied liberally giving the, what I would assume is the most tender and juicy, roast beef a strange creamy taste and texture that is not pleasant. The au jus is a strong french onion soup that does not go well with the sandwich.
Overall I felt the place tries too hard to be different, too hard to be the cool place in town. The food was a 4 (the salmon was truly excellent), the environment was a 2...I split the difference.
