I think I came here on a bad night. I really dug the decor & the more than ample wine list (of which I had a nice shiraz and my date had a nice cab). from all angles, between the lounge area and the quiet dining tables, it's a really cool, quiet little place to take someone out.
we were promptly seated and took a few minutes to ponder the wine, which came out promptly, followed by some tasty bread, followed by ordering, followed by an extended conversation... hey... my wine is just about... empty... and... i still don't have food? the waitress comes over & explains there's been a mixup in the kitchen, and that the food is on the house. holy crap, it's been an hour since we sat down? good thing this wasn't an awkward first date. the food, also, was kinda lukewarm & not that great. i had the steak (which comes out crusted with a peppercorn crusty thing and pre-sliced, which was a bit odd).
i think i'll have to give this place another shot.
