I got the beef bourgignon shepherd's pie and I was not a fan. Isn't bourgignon AND shepherd's pie supposed to be more like a stew at the bottom? It seems like mine was over reduced, I ended up with mash with chunks of meat and a few carrots that tasted like burnt sauce. The potato topping had 2 whole cubes of potato in it, which I'm thinking weren't supposed to be there. \n\nWe also got the mac and cheese with and without pancetta - it was kind of bland. Not very cheesy, not very much of anything really.. \n\nThe fork tender spare ribs were tasty but I've had better. The pork chile stew was actually pretty good but the taste was a bit strong. It had the same taste as chipotle steak - maybe its cumin? The corn bread that accompanied was unlike any I've ever had.. it was airy, not dense, but kind of dry at the same time with a crunchy crust - maybe too much butter? I love corn bread and I did not like what they did to it..\n\nThe desert was interesting - we got the bacon smores. The bacon was way too salty, or maybe it needed a couple more dips in the chocolate to offset it better but the saltiness overpowered anything else. The quality of the bacon seemed good, maybe they can get a reduced sodium version? The death by chocolate was good, but it was very chocolatey - I do not recommend it if you don't like fudge dipped in chocolate on chocolate ice cream. The one thing about the plating.. the lil smear of thick chocolate sauce (mousse?) does not add to the attractiveness whatsoever..\n\nThe service was great and I love the decor. That being said, the portions are small for the pricing and the food is not very good. Don't try to be fancy if you can't do it well.
