Used to be one of my favorites... now it is average at best. When they first opened, it was just the best combination of cool concept with the connection booths and excellent food. The ingredients they used were fresh, mostly locally sourced and the chef prepared them with a delicate hand.
Went back two weeks ago for the first time in a few months and was excited to do so. Until we ate... I could hardly believe this was the same restaurant other than the connection booths. Seared scallops were not seared but were over-cooked. Shrimp with white wine/garlic tasted frozen although the broth was good enough for dipping bread in. As always, we ordered a big variety of plates and shared amongst the table so I was able to taste much of the menu. SO disappointing.
If this had been my first visit, it would also have been my last. There HAS to be a new chef back there because this is not the same food they served when they opened. Word to owners... No matter how cool your concept is (and the connection booths are way cool), no restaurant can make it when the kitchen produces mediocrity. Please get back to what you used to be!
