The person taking the order offered the change to a better tequila for a small up charge and we agreed. Drinks arrived and then another long wait toorder our food. As we waited a for our food to come out we watched several other tables get their food faster, and most hadarrived after we had. The food was ok, nothing special, some was not very hot for the wait we had. We had asked for the checkand going over the charges, the drinks had almost doubled in price from what the menu stated. After asking the waitress about itthey tried to explain the multiple charges and new price. I went back to the register so she could show the charges. They didremove the additional charge for mixes, but did not change the drink charge. I would make sure if you try this place be sure tolook at receipt for what they charge.

Both were amazing however the temp of the bisque was not hot enough. The calamari on the other hand was mind blowing. Auntie Kells had a Margarita. I had a vodka martini.Her main course was chicken piccata while mine was an unbelievable roasted lamb shank. The mashed potatoes with mine had a creamy buttery flavor. All of the vegetables are fresh ! NOTHING out of a can. Even the butter was artisan with wildflower honey and star of anise.CT was my waiter. We shared some stories and I enjoyed his company. He is amazing and we shall continue to support 1424 moving forward.

Paper thin about 3-4 oz of chicken with bland linguini. Fettuccine Alfredo tastes like it was made of ONLY Béchamel sauce. Nutmeg and parmigiana was the only flavors coming through. Filet was cooked nice We will try again.

Food was fantastic, including presentation which doesn't often seem importent in this area. Our server Rick was incredible. I certainly did not feel that the food was in the least overpriced. Impressive wine list. Thanks!
