So dinner last night at Beckett's Table, featuring beer can chicken to promote the release of Four Peaks Hop Knot in a can was fantastic! When the main course arrived it looked so good I dove in without even taking a picture. The whole roasted chicken came with sides of potato salad and coleslaw, and garnished with nothing other than a Hop Knot beer can. It fit the occasion, and was all delicious. These items are not part of the regular menu at Beckett's Table, but they were a testament to the culinary aptitude none the less.
Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted and advised our table wasn't quite ready yet. During the few minutes we had to wait, we were checked on 3 times by various staff members. Almost overkill but much preferred to the alternative. For a Thursday night it was very busy but we were still shown to our table very close to our reservation time. Once being seated, we were greeted and served drinks and water refills by 3 different people. At this point I wasn't quite sure who would be serving us, which became a bit confusing. After several minutes our actual server, whom we had not seen yet, showed up. He was a bit inattentive and didn't time his "check-ins" very well. I can't say the service was bad, but it seemed a bit awkward; which was a contrast from the initial attention we received before being sat.
We began the evening with an appetizer of roasted beets, which are on the regular menu. The medley of white, yellow, and red beets came topped with herbs (rosemary and parsley I think), feta cheese, and pecans. It was a great combination of flavors. Two types of rolls, wheat and cheddar topped, were served as well; thankfully we were only provided 1 each or I might have filled myself up on bread before the main course arrived. I would have loved to try desert, as I've read some good reviews, but I was stuffed.
All in all, the food was great, the beer was great, and the service was OK. I definitely look forward to going back and trying more of the regular menu items; I left with an overall good taste in my mouth.
