Chef Jason runs this restaurant alone. All the Google reviews baffle me. Diners photos show white tablecloths and plates that look amazing and not at all what we experienced. We made a reservation via text to him for 5 o'clock on a Saturday. When we walked in we were the only patrons. We walked up to the counter where there is a tablet that has the menu on it. We seem to have surprised him and I stated we had a reservation. He said oh, I have been having trouble with my phone. We had a text confirmation though. He asked us if we knew what we would like to order without giving us much time. We said not yet. Then asked us what we would like to drink, we said some water. He then pointed to 2 beer like taps and said one was regular water and one was sparkling and to help ourselves. Said we could take a seat and he would come take our order. Again remember we are the only Diners and we took a seat at a 4 top table. When he arrived at our table his first question was "may I ask what you chose this table?".
I responded that 2 seat tables always seemed so crowded when food arrived. He seemed miffed and removed the 2 extra silverware settings. My husband asked him how many pieces of fish were in the fish and chips plate. He answered with 8 ounces, kind of strange but hubby ordered it. We also ordered the Beats ravioli appetizer and I chose the steak fries. He brought the appetizer and it was plated well but seemed a little raw, the dough was undercooked and the beat in the center was crunchy. The balsamic glaze was scant on the side. Another couple came in as the chef was still in the back I let them know he was cooking our food and showed them where the water was hoping he didnt stop cooking our food to wait on them. Our food arrived and generally I take photos but plates were not photo worthy. The fish were 4 thin crispy pieces, crunchy outside and because so skinny not much fish inside and very dry. The chips did appear hand cut like wide thin wedges. They were pretty decent. My steak was ordered medium rare and I think he may not have let it rest before he sliced it. Outside edges were dry and overcooked and lacked any seasoning. We opted not to try any dessert with the meal being so disappointing. Before I wrote this I sent the Chef a text asking if maybe he was having an off day. I also suggested he hire a hostess so that he could concentrate on just cooking. He has never bothered to respind. The whole experience left us feeling perplexed about all the 5 Star reviews. It was suppose to be an amazing evening for my husbands birthday and it was spoiled. We ended up stopping at McDonald's for an ice cream cone to drown our sorrows. read more
