We were really excited to try the joint out as we're big time Verrado fans, We love Grazie, the blue Daisy, and I'm in the barber shop every two and a half weeks like clockwork.
The issue we had here was first and foremost the service, and secondly the quality of some of the dishes we had that night.
We asked my litter sister to grab a table for us, when we showed up about five minutes after her, she had not yet been sat and the hostess let her know it would be about 10 minutes. There was about 80% open tables at the time I was immediately not pleased. She's 18 treat her the same as you would treat me. After that we ordered and the appetizers, it took about 45 minutes for us to receive ANYTHING at our table, which i thought was WAY too long, i mean not even bread? C'mon man. Our waiter came by after he finally brought us some bread and then informed us that the appetizers would be coming out the same time as the food, which should be out soon. There was empty tables everywhere and you would have thought the place was booked solid. Just not pleased with our service at all.
My better half ordered the lobster mac and added bacon (because what isn't better with a little bacon?), and my little sister ordered the Veggie risotto, While I went with a testosterone filled Steak and Mashed potato.
There are some really good things going on here. I had a steak that was a perfect medium rare, topped with wild mushrooms and what may have been some sort of balsamic glaze that was ridicu-licious we're talking ridiculously delicious.
The lobster mac was one dimensional at best. It was a lot of butter flavor with small chunks of what you could barely tell was once (most likely delicious) lobster. Almost none of that cheesy gooey home-style feel that you get from a good Mac and Cheese.
Now on to the veggie Risotto, which by my standards was... I guess ok? I felt like i could taste that the mushrooms had extra sponge-like texture, As if they may had been frozen or previously dehydrated. Other than that the rest of the veggie mix was NOT cooked to baby food like consistency (which we appreciated) and the proper technique was evident in the final product.
Overall for the price we payed I expected better quality and a better experience, I'll have to possibly come by and try it out another time to see if this was an isolated incident.
