this place gets a LOT of hype and, unfortunately, doesn't live up to it.
i went for my birthday which was also the start of spring restaurant week. understandably, they were busy. my husband and i arrived early for our reservation, checked in and took a seat at the bar. i ordered a specialty cocktail which was supposed to contain muddled mint and a sugared rim. it arrived with no suragered rim and whole mint leaves. fine. it was still good.
dinner time came and with it being restaurant week, we looked over the menu. had i ordered off the resturant week menu instead of the regular menu, i would have paid more for the three items than had i just ordered straight off the menu. bad form!
so my mother and i both ordered the red pepper cannelloni. my huband ordered the green chili pork (?) off the restaurant week menu and my brother got the barbeque pork. my brother was the only one who liked his food. the green chili was runny/oily and lacked good flavor.
the canneloni had ZERO flavor. amazingly bland vegetables inside an amazingly bland red pepper with an amazingly bland sauce on the side. no good. the server (who was very nice but very rushed and difficult to find) immediately offered to get us something else whcih we appreciated. i got the chopped salad which was fine. nothing special. my mom got the chicken and dumplings - again, lacking any significant flavor. the manager came over, apologized for the cannelloni dishes and said they've been experienceing problems and very mixed reviews on vegetable dishes since they opened. i suggest getting to work on something good containing vgetables. this is NOT going to cut it.
dessert was also ho-hum. the pecan/fig pie had a great filling but a rock solid crust . my husband said the bacon s'mores were too much work - messy and not very good.
overall i'm totally shocked at the good reviews this place continues to receive. i just wasn't at all impressed.
