Started off that it could be nice, but boy were we wrong. Called ahead to see if there was a wait. “Nope, we’re a bar, no wait at all.” Beautiful room, up some weird rickety carpeted stairs (not wheelchair accessible) in an old apartment building. Beautiful long room, very dimly lit, empty at first. We got a table for our party, got some plates and utensils. Took a little bit to review the menu and then placed our orders at the bar. The older gray/white haired man with glasses and a ponytail was running around like crazy, and seemed to be extremely distracted and wearing too many hats. Would walk away multiple times from us at the bar as we each placed our order, changing the vinyl record player, cleaning up dishes, etc. Was very rude and abrupt to some in our party. Half of our party ordered our food at 7:12pm (per our receipt) and we did not get it until 8:46pm. We were sitting by the kitchen, open view, and the two young men working in the kitchen definitely seemed extremely overworked and probably underpaid. They worked fast and well, and I guess our ticket got completely lost. Half of our party got their food shortly after ordering. The other half did not. The server in the beanie hat with a beard also seemed to be overworked and running around like crazy, nice and polite, but told us about 1 hour into our wait for our meal that one of the items we had ordered had run out and they could refund it or substitute it. One in our party kindly but sternly asked the staff to refund those in the party whose meal was an hour and a half late, which they did thankfully. But any other restaurant worth their salt would have already apologized and offered to comp the extremely late meal without us asking. Once we finally got our meal, the house potato fingerlings were horribly tough. They were worse than when you over cook a baked potato in the microwave. If we were not starving, they would have been inedible. Part of the meal that was an hour and a half late was a charcuterie board….that should have been out immediately!!! The music was way too loud and overpowering. As we waited for our meal, other tables came and went, were served and changed and refilled and emptied. The bathrooms were large and down a lonely deserted hall, so definitely take a buddy. The server in the beanie and the kitchen staff did their jobs well enough, we don’t fault them. But definitely ridiculous. Gray haired bar man, rude and abrupt. Never even apologized to us at all. They keep credit cards for your tab if you have one. Don’t return it until closing the tab. They had some gluten free menu items, but again, who knows if they are any good normally; our food was overdone, and extremely late.
