I ordered the Rustic Stuffed Chicken, and to be fair, it was actually quite good. The goat cheese and spinach stuffing was the highlight of the dish and added a lot of flavour. Unfortunately, everything around it was a bit of a letdown. The mashed potatoes were very starchy and bland, the vegetables were overcooked and also bland and waterlogged, and the overall portion felt pretty small. The dish was also supposed to come with roasted potatoes, but they had run out of them, along with a few other menu items. I also tried the Forty Hazy IPA, which I thought was decent.
My wife ordered the Ocean Crown Salmon, and unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing restaurant meals we've had in a while. The salmon was completely overcooked, dry, and even burnt in spots. The dish as a whole just felt uninspired, and she made the difficult decision to send it back, which is something she absolutely hates doing and very rarely does.
She replaced it with the Mac & Cheese, but unfortunately that wasn't much better. We both found it to be very lacklustre, and the portion was surprisingly small. She finished it quickly and still ended up making herself something to eat once we got home.
One thing we do want to commend was our server. He handled everything professionally and was kind enough to remove my wife's meal from the bill, which we really appreciated. The service was definitely the highlight of the visit.
Overall, though, the food just felt like it lacked love, creativity, and attention to detail. Combined with a fairly average atmosphere, this visit just didn't leave much of an impression on us, and unfortunately it's probably not a place we'll be returning to.
