Even though I'm historically leary about trying new places after they have just opened up, I went with some coworkers to try the new place out.
I arrived at 11:40 in order to beat some of the lunch traffic. It wasn't very busy at that time and was quickly seated. I did see that as noon approached, the number of tables available became very scarce.
There was a new host up front and he was being assisted by another person on how to put the placemats down, and where to put the silverware. One thought. When you have the busser clean the tables, it might be easier to have them leave the silverware there. That is one less thing the host has to carry. My $.02.
The artichoke appetizer was unfortunately not available so I did the truffle fries. They were quite good, but I really wish they had the artichoke. Maybe another time. I did the truffle burger and it was quite good. For once, a burger that is medium rare, came out as medium rare.
The server, Justin, was hospitable, checked on our water, gave us a quick tour of the kitchen and was well informed of the menu and even provided some of his favorites.
Overall, the weight wasn't particularly long, and the service was good. I know it's still a new business so they have some growing pains but hopefully they continue to grow. The only reason why I didn't give a 5 star rating was the price. It's a little on the steep side. Fries and a burger over $20 for lunch is a bit high.
