I so wanted to love this place and promote Williston small business, but I just couldn't because everything we had except the bread at the start was pretty bad.
No liquor license, i.e. no dinner wine is a huge limitation. The lemonade and water we had to drink were unbelievably served in thin, disposable plastic cups.
The tiny bowls of "salad" were some sort of mayonnaise covered slaw with carrots and kale. It tasted all right, but not great.
My husband ordered the Berry Pork Tenderloin. The berry sauce was passable, but the pork turned out to be an extremely tough three quarters of an inch thick boneless pork chop, not pork tenderloin.
I had the Ahi tuna and shrimp. I have never had a piece of fish so overdone, tough, and dry. It was completely unseasoned, but seasoning wouldn't have saved it anyway. The five small skewered grilled shrimp were reasonably good, but nothing special. Accompanying sautéed peppers were
nice, but the rice was dry and tasteless.
On to dessert. I had mediocre, odd textured flan. My husband had some sort of peach pie stuffed inside crumbly, dry cinnamon cake. This attempt at originality doesn't work. Also, it was nearly impossible to fork through the hard buried pie crust. My husband commented that it might have been passable had it been warm or room temperature, but it was refrigerator cold and barely palatable.
We smiled and were polite and took boxes home quite literally for our doggie. We didn't complain about our disappointment. I also didn't tip because our server was the restaurant owner. Of course, we won't return, and I predict, unfortunately, that if what we experienced is typical, this restaurant won't make it for much longer. We were the only sit-down customers for tonight's first hour of operation. Admittedly, it's Wednesday, maybe not a big day for dining out in Williston. read more
