. "I stopped by here a couple of Fridays ago with my fianc\u00E9 and two other couples for dinner. We had reservations and were the first from our party to arrive and were quickly led from the fairly full bar area into the mostly empty dining room. The table that we were placed at was right underneath a window which for reasons unbeknownst to us or the server, did not have and curtains or shades. This was a major problem since it was a very sunny day and made it very difficult for some of our dining companions to even look in the direction of my fianc\u00E9 and myself. I actually felt bad for the two that were seated in the direction facing the window as they had the sun in their eyes constantly and that could not have been nice. After we were seated for a bit, the server came over to give us the specials of the day and also mentioned that they were out of the Italian meat plate and duck. At this point my fianc\u00E9 ordered a merlot, only to have the server go off to get it and come back to tell her that they were out of it. The same thing would happen later in the evening whenever one of our dining companions ordered the quail as his entr\u00E9e. I don't know that I have ever seen a restaurant out of that many food items, on a Friday night of all times, especially one that is a little more upscale.\n\nOur group decided to start off the evening by trying out two of the \"small plates\", the large artisan cheese plate and a flatbread with a prime rib. After the small plates came out, we decided to ask our server what kind of cheese was on the cheese plate as the menu did not mention it and we were not able to identify it ourselves. He had to go back into the kitchen to find out and I wish that I could remember any of them but none were anything that I have heard of before. Even so, I enjoyed the taste of all 4 different kinds although there wasn't as big of a flavor difference in them as I would have liked. The flatbread ended up being very good and would ultimately become my favorite dish of the evening. For my dinner entr\u00E9e I decided to order the Bloody Mary Marinated NY Strip Steak while my fianc\u00E9 went with the Surf and Turf. As soon as we cut into our steaks it was easy to tell that both were overcooked. However my fianc\u00E9 would tell me that her scallops were tasty and cooked perfectly. As for my entree, the marinade that was on my steak was fairly bland and did not provide the flavor that I expected out of it. My favorite part ended up being the Gruyere potato terrine which was terrific. It had the potatoes in a long rectangular shape that you would associate with a terrine and seemed to be lightly fried on all sides which helped to give it some crisp and flavor. \n\nThe bottom line for me is that I would not head back here in the future. While some of the food proved that the restaurant has some promise, there were just too many little things wrong that could have been easily fixed. Everything from seating a table facing a window on a sunny day without blinds to the number of menu items that they were out of and even overcooking our steaks are things that are very simple to fix and had me leaving Truth Lounge with a sour taste in my mouth."^^ .
