We were excited to check out this new spot, but I completely agree with another review that said this felt more like a food court than a food hall. I suppose on paper, those are essentially the same thing, but I think there's an obvious difference. It just didn't have the feel of a "night out."
Plastic containers, paper plates, and to-go wrapped plasticware didn't at all match up with the prices paid for what we hoped was a nice dinner. (Another irk that we both noticed was feeling stared at by each vendor as we passed by reading the menus, each looking at us with what felt like a bit of desperation. I would've preferred sitting down with an all encompassing menu, or even a QR code, rather than this awkward stroll. I suppose this wouldn't be an issue if the hall were busier.)
The employees varied greatly in friendliness, but nearly all seemed tremendously nervous and/or inexperienced. Despite being pretty empty, the bartender didn't acknowledge us for about 5 minutes of sitting at the bar, despite making a drink mere feet away. When ready, she simply asked, "Do you know what you want?" (The couple joining us a bit later mentioned that they got the exact same "greeting.") When I returned for another drink, I was met with, "You want something?" One cocktail was pretty good, and the other was lousy, but both far too sweet. Worst, the strawberry sangria was undrinkable, looking and tasting like Kool Aid mixed with wine--truly, we both agreed it may have been literal Kool Aid.)
Our Indian meal was very good. The Jamaican meal was meh... crunchy, undercooked rice served in a plastic to-go container. (Would anyone come to such a nice venue for a to-go meal?)
This food court experience would've been fine at food court prices, but at $95 for two meals and three drinks, it left a lot to be desired.
