Reviews
This is a casual restaurant with a nice menu, excellent food, and nice wine list. Our server Jason was terrific. Super accommodating of food allergies and preferences, and very friendly and hospitable. Kudos to the chef for making my wife’s shrimp dinner a second time after Jason told him the first one had an ingredient she couldn’t eat.
We started with a hot and sour soup with shrimp that was delicious but very spicy. The shrimp scampi entree was wonderful. Perfectly prepared shrimp. The seared tuna was served very creatively and tasted great. The French baguette was warm and delicious. Complimenting dinner was a Sauvignon blanc that was nice and mild. For dessert the pumpkin donuts hit the spot. The espresso was really good. We were surprised there was no tea or decaf available, but Jason brought me a cup of hot water.
We had a very nice and relaxing dinner. The appearance and atmosphere may be casual, but the food was first class. Definitely worth a visit if you are vacationing in the area.
Decor wise, the restaurant is simple; It isn’t fancy. I think, decor wise, the umbrellas on the ceiling are very cute, but after that it’s like the vibe ended, totally.
Food wise, the food was well seasoned. So, I will say that first off, I hate underseasoned food. I have Celiacs Disease and they have GF denotations on the menu so I chose from there. I actually asked for the shrimp scampi with rice noodles and that came out great, I just told our waitress to please make sure they cook them in a separate pot and flag it and she did. The taste and seasoning was great. I 100% did not mind the rice noodles and I thought it was great. The seasoning was good on everything we had.
The starter was the lamb rolls which was incredibly underwhelming. The amount of lamb they give you is a joke and it’s priced at 21.00$. You can get a pound of organic ground lamb from Whole Foods for 8.00$ (and I do) and yet, they are charging 21.00$ for 1 link the size of a breakfast sausage that was cut up! This is served on 6 or 7 pieces of Bibb lettuce with 3 slices of onion and some banana peppers. NOT worth 21.00$ Please avoid this dish if you go there. It’s literally less than 3 ounces of lamb at the most.
Secondly, the sparking water…they are charging 8.00$ for a small bottle of San Pelligrino water and even at high end restaurants the LARGE BOTTLE is 7 or 8.00$. This is way over priced. We paid 16.00$ plus tax and tip on two small bottles of San Pelligrino water which you can buy an entire case of these x2 for this price at the grocery store. Most restaurants serving this small bottle would charge 3.00$ for it, not 8.00$.
The stand out dish was the Oso Buco. This was the only dish that was the best of the night. Second being the shrimp scampi.
Cocktails: They were basic and underwhelming at 17.00$ They weren’t mixed well and had no garnishes (the menu said there would be garnishes) and were not served in proper glasses. I ordered a cocktail and it never arrived, but it did appear they comped most of it and charged me only 2.00$ for it (what was that???).
Overall, I like trying new restaurants, but I won’t be coming back here. From the unwelcome vibes to the overpriced items I feel I can do a lot better taking my money elsewhere. I felt like as a customer I was not welcome at all and the service was lacking. I was readily made to feel like I wasn’t the demographic they were looking for from the moment I walked in.
The Dewey has a better atmosphere and food and is steps away and I have dined there twice. The Don Cesar has similar pricing, but is actually fine dining.
When it came time to pay they acted like they didn’t know what Offline was or what the discount was and tried to only give us our discount on 1 meal. They acted funny about it and we were both Offline members. Then tried to play it off and say “it’s new” and “a manager will come by to approve it”, but no manager ever came by because I am thinking it was the same rude woman who greeted us and didn’t look like she wanted us to be there in the first place. I wish I didn’t have this interaction, but it is what it is.
