Host was hanging around the kitchen for a while and we waited, it took a good while until she came out to sit us.
We were seated got darker and we found ourselves below some strong light, we asked to be turned off and sadly they did turn off for a couple of minutes until they turned it back on and didnt even had the courtesy to dim the light as we had said it was bothering us.
No drink menu, how can you try to be upscale ish and not have a drink menu with signature cocktails
The space is very nice and the decor is pretty good. I just felt that the place was little too cold as it is fall right now and I was pretty cold in there.
Seems like the photos I see here are very mixed with items that are not in the menu. They do have daily specials and I think they just changed their menu.
SEA FOOD CHOWDER - I cannot explain how amazed I am with this soup. Sadly with soup of the day u cannot plan going to a place to try the item and that makes me sad cause I think everyone should try this rich flavored and sea food chunky soup, even the amount of potatoes in it didnt bother me. Pretty amazed with this soup.
PARMESAN TRUFLE FRIES- this is a side and we got as the appetizer and the serving was very impressive. It definitely has an appetizer size to it I'm was pleased, a little oily but very tasty. I could taste that it was not a frozen pack of fries they were fresh cut for sure. The truffle flavor was lacking a bit though.
CALIFORNIA FLAT BREAD- the toppings really sounded very interesting and all but the flavor was not up to par. the crust was dry and tasteless and a bit too oily. the overall truffle claims were just claims as I did not taste much of the truffle oil which let me down cause I love me some ruffle. I was disappointed with this flatbread.
as I looked on yelp for the most popular meals here I noticed that they do have a lot of changes very often on the menu, although that is a cool thing that keeps the restaurant innovative and you have that never know what to expect factor, also comes with the negative of people who comes here for the first time like myself have somewhat a hard time to figure what to try and if the meals here are consistently good.
In my opinion the inconsistency on the menu items can be a bit detrimental to the places specially for people who likes to research about the food encounter before coming in, this was basically a blind sweep as the menu items are not really well represented on the app.
They should stick with the items on the menu for a little while to at least make people come in for their food rockstar plates and not for a guessing game.
overall it was ok but I was...
Read moreWent for breakfast. This was truly the worst dining experience I've ever had. It was the perfect combination of terrible food and terrible service. I'm not even sure where to start, but let's go with the food.
How do to screw up scrambled eggs? Let them sit in the pan for a good 5 minutes after they are done. There was a thick crust on the bottom and around the edge. Mmmm, appetizing.
Also, do you like pepper indiscriminately poured on top of everything? Even your bagel? This is your place.
And that's ignoring the fact that even the food that was right was just downright awful and cold.
Another order for our friend came out as a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on English muffin. But the order had been a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Oh, and this was after the waitress told us they were out of sausage. When dropping the food off, the waitress shrugged her shoulders and said "I don't know what's going on in there this morning" and then walked away.
If you like beverages, order then all up front, because the wait staff doesn't come by to refill even water. Even when you specifically ask for it and wait for 45 minutes. Normally you'd speak up and say "where's my water", but we actually never saw our waitress near our table again.
Oh, but we did actually physically see her, because we saw her slip in a recently mopped area. Now a normal person's reaction to seeing a co-worker fall like that would be to make sure they are OK. But no, our waitress' colleague began to berate her in front of the entire restaurant, yelling "WHAT DID I TELL YOU?! WHAT DID I TELL YOU?!". Always good to have the support of those you with with. Our waitress quit on the spot.
At least we got a show with our...
Read moreA very quaint and trendy bistro. The food is fantastic. The drinks are tasty and the service is impeccable. The decor is tasteful and trendy. I came for cocktails and tapas with friends and was not disappointed. The shrimp cocktail consisted of plump and flavorful shrimp. They did not taste like the defrosted shrimp that is the usual fare at other establishments. They were fresh,plump and full of flavor. they also had a Tina tar tar that is the most delicious thing I have experienced in a lifetime. Skewers of beef teriyaki were available. They were flavorful and tender and didn't have that overpowering taste that items marinated in teriyaki can possess. They were wonderful. Dirty vodka martinis made with top shelf vodka helped to balance out a perfect evening with friends. Definitely a great place for the mature and adventurous or the millennial looking for a trendy hip place to have a bite and a drink. A must experience for the...
