"The place...I wish you could take the employees and the food and put them in a building that isn't in the ghetto. Parking is a challenge; there is NO handicap parking (I'm on crutches for a broken ankle so that stuff is important to me now).\n\nThe entrance is weird to locate, there are three front doors. But as soon as you walk in you see this small yet efficient kitchen. Amazed at the food that they turn out from that. It gets a little tight as the host station and the food runners occupy the same space as the customers.\n\nOur first table I sat on a chair that had a screw sticking up thru the seat pad...ouch. But they moved us to a back table which suited us fine.\n\nThe server was knowledgeable, and gave us ample time to order, get drinks. He's a smoker and his cig breaks were pretty obvious from the stench that followed him back inside.\n\nWe had a bottle of wine and the cheese flight. Great pairings! My friend didn't care for the grilled salad. I had the filet medallions with mashers and veg of the day (snow peas, carrots and kale sauteed).\n\nFilet was per--fect. Perfect. I have dreams about this meal. Perfectly aged, seasoned, grilled. Mashed pots were disappointingly devoid of seasoning...needed salt, garlic, pepper. Veg were a little oily, were sauteed in butter, would have preferred evoo.\n\nDessert was tiramisu...again perfect. Had some coffee which was surprisingly good.\n\nNow the not so good.\n\nThe place is one huge code violation and a fire inspectors dream/nightmare...the fire door in the back of the restaurant was BLOCKED by a partition. Nobody could get out should there be a fire....which brings me to the electrical nightmare portion..the lighting is daisychained together via extension cords, electrical taped in some cases where the cords frayed. The lights were constantly dimming and this concerned me.\n\nThe restrooms (male) were exceptionally small. I was on crutches and getting into the restroom was almost not possible...it's that small. Once in you get to experience one urinal and one toilet, (it's a one person restroom) and pee all over the floor. One light on the ceiling; poorly lit with a 1960's sink and hardware. My belief is that the kitchen is in the same condition as the restrooms. \n\nIf you were in a wheelchair...forget it. You're not getting in.\n\nOverall, the place is full of character, awesome food and great employees...in a building that has been grandfathered of code compliance. Next time I'll get take out."^^ .
