Our waitress seemed really irritated we were there, which was so awkward when we heard the absolutely lovely server at the next table over explaining the menu and being generally jovial and kind. Going to a nice dinner is always soured by bad service. Also? ask for their liquor price before ordering?my date ordered an Angel?s Envy old fashioned and was charged $27! Comical since abottle of Angel?s is like $50. Overall was SO excited to try out this restaurant after going to UNC a few years ago. The pastaswere lovely (very small), but we won?t be returning for weirdly overpriced cocktails, small portions, and to have a grumpywaitress ruin a date with cold service.
Excellent dining experience! We sat on the back patio and enjoyed a variety of upscale dishes from the spontaneous menu. Each dish was a small sample, but enough to be filling and very delicious. I had foods I never would have ordered on my own, liketuna tartare, but I enjoyed everything. Servers were very attentive.
We came here for a dinner with friends. The food was pretty good and there was a nice variety of choices. The cocktails were tasty. I do wish there was more consistency between the portion sizes on the meals and appetizers. Pasta was very small andexpensive vs some of the other mains. We will probably be back to try it again.
The service is of course perfect, and the ambiance is very nice. We had the cheese plate, which was lovely. My son had the ravioli and loved it. I had the soft-shell crab and thought it should have been crispy rather than soggy as it wasunfortunately. I had the flounder and felt I could have made it at home. We had the cheesecake and the chocolate for dessertand both were absolutely delicious. We'll be back.
The restaurant itself is lovely and has a pleasant atmosphere. We were seated at a nice window table with fresh flowers. The service was decent. Our server was a little slow between check-ins and forgot flatware and a few details of our order. Nothingnecessarily bad and he was still polite and friendly. The food was good. I had the mini biscuits which were delicious! Lovedthem so much. Flakey and rich and savoury. The other meal items were good. I also had the shrimp, for which the breading wasincredible. Perfectly seasoned, but the shrimp itself was over cooked (a little rubbery). The sauce and seasoning made up forit! Yum. I wasn?t crazy about the duck, and the dessert was good but the flavor was a bit off for me. Might just be personalpreference. Overall, I spent about $100 for two people which is fair and expected (no alcoholic drinks). I plan to return totry other menu items, as I?m sure the other dishes are good and worth trying. Will update my review at that time.
