We expected busy, and the dining room had several tables full, plus the patio. What we didn't…read moreexpect was the oddly long wait for pretty much everything.
It seems as though the burg wants to simultaneously be gourmet and pub grub, which led to some slightly charming, slightly off-putting touches. Dining in, we got paper plates for our appetizer, which appeared an hour after we ordered it and only after we both asked when it would come out. Paper plates, an interesting choice, which also appeared only when we asked for something to eat our food with.
People who arrived after us received their orders before we did. I realize different food requires different cooking time, but the guy at the next table had the same thing I had ordered. His rice bowl was in a quart-size Chinese take-away box... again, odd but interesting. When mine arrived much later, my bowl was on a plate.
I had to take my friend's little cup up to the bar to get a water refill.
The desserts on offer were a mixed bag including funfetti ice cream and a basil ice cream with tomato caramel sauce. My friend got the latter, and I tried a bit... lovely flavors!
The food was tasty, but the epic wait time while later arrivals got their meals made us both sad. If I come up this way again, I might consider returning. I hope by then they have the plating more consistent with the food's quality. It's jaw-dropping to see an over $15 entree arrive in a disposable box and another on an actual plate.
