I was disappointed by my visit there, mainly because the reviews I read before going were very good. After re-reading these reviews, a lot of the very good ones are for the weekend brunch and we were there for dinner so that might explain the difference.

Upon entering the restaurant, I really liked the atmosphere, the art covering the walls, the location. But unfortunately, the food just did not meet the expectations.

We started with the Crab-stuffed Portobello mushroom, which was simply delicious and the best item we ordered that night. We then shared a Spinach / apple / Chevre / Bacon salad, which was good but had too much red onion in it, which overpowered the apple taste.

For the main course, I ordered an item from the list of daily specials, diver scallops with miniature heirloom tomatoes. I don’t know if it is the acidity released by the tomatoes which were warm or if there was a problem with the scallops but this just did not taste good. I tasted a small slice of each scallop to see if any of them would NOT have that gamey/not-fresh taste but they all tasted the same. This was the first time I tasted a scallop dish I did not like and I had them raw / cooked / sauteed… in pretty much any type of recipe… I always like them. But not that night.

My gf had another of the daily specials, which was mainly steak with mashed potatos and a dijon sauce, which I thought would be on the steak but was really just all over the mashed potatos making them just very heavy.

The service was ok – I have to say they did not charge me for the dish I barely touched but they sent 2 different people to ask me what was wrong with the dish, along with “Oh, we’ve served it to a few people tonite and got no complaints” aka “what’s wrong with you?”. The only other comment about service was that we were each called “Sweetie” a couple of times by one of the ladies there, which sounded a little condescending.

I’d be curious to hear more about people who have had good experiences there. Maybe brunch is where they excel.
