The food here tasted pretty good; if i were voting food flavor only, I would give it 4 stars. My main complaint? Everything took FOREVER. I mean literally 40 minutes for dinner to come out, and then since this place tries to be gourmet, the portions are very small. Tastes good, but honestly instead of giving me 3 baby carrots so that they splay out nicely on the plate, could you instead give me 5 or 6, since the primary purpose is, after all, to feed me? And the squash mash was delicious, but they gave me about as much as fits in 4 or 5 packets of ketchup...no joke. My boyfriend had potatoes with his meal, he got about 3oz of fish (maybe 4 regular bites, 3 man bites) and he had three pieces of potato, but each piece was about the size of a quarter and as thick as my finger. Sorry, but that just is NOT enough food. And that's it. So if you want a place where you can have a great LUNCH, go here, the food was delicious, ask them for dinner portions though. But I would pass on dinner, I weigh 129 lbs so it's not because I'm a big eater, just be aware that the meal is more like an appetizer and it takes about 40 minutes to get it. Also, the place was a little pretentious...it had a small flatscreen tv in the bathroom above the toilet paper dispenser, playing a video of a fireplace... come on that's just trying too hard. Although my server was very sweet, she was not attentive and seemed a little confused. We had to ask her to bring us some bread stix 20 minutes into our 40 minute wait for dinner. but hey, it's an experience at least to go to a poshy gourmet place like this.
Pros: Taste of the food
Cons: Barely any food given in an attempt to be artistic. 3 pinky size carrots as my side? how about a couple more?
