I will preface this review with the fact that the food here is yummy.
I've always been scared of being catfished whilst online dating. So I remain single. But never would I have imagined that I would be one day be catfished by a restaurant...twice.
I live around the corner from Bar Basic. I've eaten there a few times. Always happy with the food but underwhelmed by the service and prices. Once the pandemic hit I turned to seamless as so many of us have. At one point tired of the usual stuff I searched for something new. Low and behold this new Butger joint opened up. I ordered the yummy looking although wallet damaging burger and was shocked when it arrived. The receipt was from Bar Basic.
I chuckled and tipped my hat to their ingenuity. A quick online rebrand to keep a local business afloat. Good idea. A little misleading, but not super immoral. I would never have ordered from Bar Basic. I had tried their burger before and it wasn't for me. So they got me...and I was ok with it.
But today they got me again. I was in a classic single dad bind and looking for a healthy dinner option for my daughter. I see a cool new salad place called Twisted Salads just opened up around the corner. I decided to walk up and check it out. And much to my surprise, it was Bar Basic...again. The salad was yummy, pricey but yummy.
In conclusion, I have decided I am not fit for online dating nor am I fit for online eating. Actually, I'm not fit for online. If I can be catfished twice by a restaurant who knows what else I'm susceptible to! I just have to live off of Da Nona Rosa until I can figure out a better solution.
P.S. Just had a great idea, next rebrand you HAVE TO name yourselves Catfish ! read more
