"Carbon bar\n\nMy experience with this restaurant was 3-3.5 star. Decided on this place for a birthday celebration due to the good reviews. Even a friend said they loved this place so I had good expectations it would be a nice dining experience. Disappointed, just found it average. \n\nMade reservations online and mentioned it was for a birthday occasion. However, this was not even acknowledged by any of the staff during my group's entire dining experience. I don't expect free food or anything but not even a \"hope you have a nice time celebrating tonight\" by the server. Nothing. \n\nService - service was polite enough, but again if a group books for a special occasion it would be nice to have an acknowledgment. There was also a 2-2.5 hour max per table rule so I did note that while the server reminded us they did not kick us out right after we passed a bit over that time. Our group did appreciate that consideration. \n\nHowever, this restaurant is marked as upscale and more after work environment so perhaps I had higher expectations on customer service. Disappointed cause I've had better, more personable service at inexpensive restaurants. \n\nFood - Food at first glance was good. I ordered the brisket and mac and cheese dish. Pricey for portion. But I was full after ordering these two dishes. Brisket was nice but like I wasnt wowed. Mac and cheese was good and spicy but I think I got sick from it. Meal did not settle well after. So something in my meal was off. \n\nOverall, would I go back? Maybe with coworkers or when your company foots the bill. For special occasions? Nope."^^ . . . "0"^^ . "2018-05-15T00:00:00"^^ .
