Did I just walk into an Echo Chamber or Romper Room? Hell, some kids need to be taken to the Chamber for some "Discipline"... Did I just say that out loud? Back on topic...
The cement floors and the hard flat walls made for a great game of Pong for the Atari 2600 with the acoustics of a friggin prison cell... And the table across the way with a crap load of hellacious screaming demon spawns didn't help neither. I love how parents think they have the right to ruin other people's dinner after a long work week with the Wraith like shrills emanating from their Hobbit banshees.
We get lured to a side table which was obviously camouflaged to our server's vision or attention. Does it really take 10 minutes to get a glass of water? Yes, it does when she's trying to kill 12 glasses of water with one pass for 4 tables. WTF you think this is... Chuck E Cheese?!
I never thought much about this place based on previous reviews but since Lance Gummere came from Shaun's, I had to give it a shot.
Roasted Pork Empanada, Onion Marmalade - The fwied dough tasted like the eggrolls in the Chino-American joints. The pork filling was steaming hot but passable. Marmalade is supposed to be thicker, this was more like a salsa.
San Marzano Tomato Fondue, Goat Cheese, Pine nuts - A hefty portion it was but the bwead was charred a bit too long on the edges and the bitterness really overwhelmed the fondue aka tomato sauce. But it wasn't bad at all.
Braised Beef Brisket, Logan Turnpike White Corn Grits, Broccolini - One stalk of broccolini, although tasty. White corn grits were very good, nice and creamy and the right amount of tooth. The brisket had some decent parts that flake off with a fork but other parts you couldn't cut it with a Dremel. Replace it with anything other than brisket and we'll be eating good in the neighborhood.
Although it didn't really impress me much with the noise, service and grub, it could be much much better... but I liked the neighborhood feel. Lance just needs to get in the groove and hopefully they'll be dancing a different beat with time. Just watch out for Stewie like trolls moonwalking around the resto... They should be taken out back to the other shed.
Wah Wah... Cry for me.
ZIPPP IT!
