My husband and I came here for a date night a few Fridays ago. We hadn't been in almost 7 years, not long after they opened, but talk about how amazing their vegetables were all the time and decided to go back.
I made a reservation the Sunday before and confirmed with Open Table the day prior that we were still coming. Once we got there, the hosts at the front wordlessly took us back to where we were being seated, which is arguably the worst table in the restaurant. A tiny two top that was in the very back, right in front of the restroom. Not long after, we discovered that the table was uneven and moved anytime my husband put weight on his side of the table. I voted to leave, but my husband suggested we stay and tough it out because the other nearby spot was a brewery with only pub food and pizza. Additionally, there were also other two tops that were empty that we passed on the way there and in the same room. The other two top in the same room as us stayed empty almost the entire time we were there.
We were not greeted for quite some time, and when we were it was from the bartender who came over and never introduced himself to us or let us know that he wasn't actually going to be our server (probably 25 minutes after this a woman came over who said she was our server and asked if the bartender had introduced her, and we said he hadn't introduced anyone). We ordered cocktails and they came out relatively quickly. He oddly reached over me and picked up my stuff and then pushed them up against the wall when he sat down my cocktail, which was very strange. We ordered our actual food with our server when she came over and then only saw her one or two other times the rest of time there. Anytime we sat something down a busboy came over to immediately take it away without asking. This got old really quickly and he even came over and took my husband's dinner plate, that was empty from his entree, but was still being used for the 3 sides of vegetables we ordered to share. He came back and tried to take mine away as well and I had to physically put my hand out and tell him no.
The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 was because the food was still just as good as we remembered it. The only thing we did not like was the sweet potatoes- which I normally love- because they were incredibly salty and it overpowered the dish. Overall, I would not make the 45-minute drive down here again. The staff were not pleasant and either inattentive, or too attentive in the case of the busboy, so the lack of customer service really dampened our date night out. We both wished we would have gone somewhere else and kept the amazing memory we had from our first dining experience there. The food is very good, so I think most other patrons will have a much better time than we did. read more
