Updated Review
I've returned a couple of times since my first visit and initial review, and I'm happy to say my experiences have improved enough that I felt compelled to share.
When I called ahead for a table for 3, I was informed there would be an hour wait indoors, but they could seat us outdoors immediately, which worked perfectly since we had our dogs with us. However, when we arrived just a few minutes later, my daughter checked in while I parked and was told there were no tables available indoors or outdoors, with an hour-long wait. Confusingly, I noticed several open tables on the patio. I went inside to clarify, explained our phone conversation, and the hostess seated us immediately. My daughter, who is in her early 20s but looks younger, felt she may have been dismissed because of her age, though I assured her it was likely just a misunderstanding. This initial hiccup cost a star in my rating, but the rest of our experience more than made up for it.
Once seated, the service was fantastic, and the food and drinks were exceptional, both in quality and portion size. We ordered:
* Biscuits, Bacon & Butter
* Dozen Chilled Oysters
* Wood-Fired Half Artichoke
* Tempura Oyster Mushrooms
* Crispy Smashed Potatoes
* Bone Marrow Pasta
* Almond Wood-Grilled Ribeye
For cocktails, we enjoyed the Philippines and London, both creative and well-crafted.
Our bill came to $275 (not including tip) for the three of us--definitely on the pricier side, but I guess that's the impact of inflation.
Overall, despite the rocky start, I'm pleased with the improvements and the team's willingness to accommodate us, and I look forward to dining here again.
