I'm looking at all the previoius four and five star reviews and wondering if we went to the same place...\n\nHaving read their website's bio of the chef and their commitment to fresh ingredients, I thought it was well worth a try as my wife and I like to try to support new, worthwhile eateries in our part of town. \n\nthere was a sax player playing over some canned background music or a synthesizer or something...it was just o.k. musically, but waaay too loud.\n\nI was interested to try the \"fried vegetable logs\". The waitress brought a pile of fried mixed vegetables...swimming in a pool of greenish liquid, and topped with melted cheese. I asked about the liqud and she told me it was from the green chili sauce (which I was never able to detect except for the runny pool of liquid at the bottom of the plate. consequently, the fried vegetables were a soggy mess.\n\nAfter that came the salad...well, not exactly. Just a few minutes after getting our soggy appetizer the waitress kind of aplogized and told us our main courses were on the way out, and that if we wanted, she could put the fried vegetables on the table behind us, since our two top was too small to hold the tree oversized plates. As far as I was concerned she could take it anywhere...just take it. Sure enough, out came the main courses, but no salad. That came about five minutes later, and again due to a lack of room the waitress offered to put it on the table behind us. I was starting to get frustrated so I told her that I'd just pass on the salad. As she was taking it back to the kitchen, the manager saw her return it, but didn't say a word to us about it.\n\nThe entrees themselves were underwhelming at best. My pork chops were dry adn swimming in a brown sauce that had too much salt (and too much demi glace). And there were enough chunks of bland potatoes for three servings...this from a guy who loves potatoes. My wife's club sandwich was unremarkable at best.\n\nAs we were finishing the manager/maitre d' came over to ask how our dinner had been. Too little too late. I toldhim it was fine, just because I wanted to be done with the whole experience. And now I am.
