3 /5 Rob Turner: I really wanted to like this place more. I’d sum it up this way 5 star bar tender, 5 star drinks, 1 star food service, and mediocre food. Better management/management presence would resolve all issues quickly.
1. Only 1 Bartender for mid day Sunday brunch crowd is ignorant. Especially given 2 hostesses, 6-7 wait staff, a worthless bar back, and someone possibly from the kitchen who served me.
2. Food service brought appetizer and food at the same time. I could live with this, although really a foul, but they drop the food and leave no silverware. I even asked her for silverware and I guess she just ignored me. I stared around the restaurant as servers were quickly cleaning tables, 2 hostesses jaw jacking with each other, 4-5 servers at the end of the bar laughing and looking at cell phones. I surveyed this landscape for 4-5 minutes until the overworked bartender caught my eye. He quickly came down and offered silverware and salt and pepper.
3. Food was great with the exception of some strange citrus flavor coming from either the brioche or the combination of brioche, brisket, and hollandaise. If I had to guess spoiled brioche or old yeast used in the preparation. I kept thinking it was citrus or something like chimichurri seasoning in the brisket. Pretty sure it was the brioche.
4. Vibe overall was good, and almost every table was taken on arrival much fewer on departure.
Maybe an off day, I’ll try it again down the road.
