Ok, I've got mixed feelings about this place. I'll start with the drinks. If you've read my posts before, I've learned to stay away from signature cocktails finally, although my gf got one (which was like a Moscow mule made with water instead of ginger beer). So I tried to order a Rob Roy (just scotch and vermouth), waiter didn't know what it was, I told him, he said they can't make that. Ok...so I said I'll just have a bourbon. He said we have jack Daniel's, JW black, and JW red. Hold the eff up!! First, unless u don't have vermouth u named two scotches, and since martini was an option, im guessing u had vermouth and could've made my Rob Roy. Second, not one of those is a Bourbon!! Two are scotch and one is a Kentucky whiskey. Anyway, I had two "jack Daniel's bourbons. Soooo...maybe bring your own liquor in a flash.
Now, the bread was great!! I love me some bread and it was just really good.
Cheese app: absolutely delicious!! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. I took it and put it on some of the bread. Just amazing.
Garlic beef app: could've been great, cooked very rare, and served in a garlic sauce...but the cut was very tender, and I didn't mind it being so rare...but there was this weird after taste in the sauce...I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was very bitter. Maybe they made it with a super bitter beer or something. But it almost made the dish unpalatable.
Steaks: both were really good, good, portions, and priced really well. The chefs steak had no fat, was extremely tender, cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly and had a little pimento on the side which was a nice touch. Same goes for the ribeye, really nice steak done well (not well done, cooked medium but done well).
Salad: I don't eff with salads so who really cares. U want salad stay at home, throw some vegetables in a bowl, put some salt and oil on it and hate your life.
Sweet potato fries: now, some may love them, so this is more personal for me...I HATE SWEET POTATO FRIES!! Im sorry but they are just a terrible version of regular fries which is one of the most universally loved foods in the world. Why mess with that? Same with yuca fries...gtf out of here with that garbage. Or at least give me the option to tell you that I don't want it near my delicious steak!! Why not regular fries? Or a potato that doesn't look like it got a 90s spray tan?! Or a potato that doesn't taste like a sweet & low based pumpkin puree. I'm not begging for the skittles corporation to come out with a savory, buttered potato flavored skittle...so stop trying to make me potatoes that taste like skittles. I love skittles btw...I might actually eat that potato!! But I digress.
Lastly, the service was a little rough, slow, saw a lot of people served before us who showed up like 40 minutes after us. But the steak and cheese app were top notch!! read more
