Since you can't give half stars, I rounded up for them rather than down. My thought process is probably 3.5 stars. Definitely better than MEH, but not in the "very good" category either.
Some of the reviews online mention the service and lack thereof. I knew that going in, but tried not to let it jade me. However, my first impression was the same. We were seated promptly at our reservation time, but then left alone for a solid 15 minutes before anyone came over. By that point we were more than ready to order our drinks which we did. Another 10 minutes go by and no drinks. The waitress comes back and asked if we would like an appetizer. We decide it's probably a good idea to order while she's at the table and we have her attention, so we did. We also asked about our drinks. Another 10 minutes later, the appetizer comes out and still no drinks. The waitress seemed a little upset that we inquired about our drinks again (which magically appeared after our second inquiry).
We ended up getting a pizza for the table as an appetizer, which was perfect. The perfect amount, and honestly very good. We got the fig and pig. In fairness, our drinks were well-made, can't say worth the wait, because they were not special, but at least they weren't wrong or bad after all that time.
The entrées were a mixed bag. One person got the risotto, which was tasty, but very salty. Another got one of the burgers, I don't remember which one, but it ended up being the best entree at the table. One other person got the salmon, the sides of the salmon were green beans and tomatoes, which ended up being the hit of the dish. The salmon was flavorless. Lastly, I rounded out the table with the Gorgonzola gnocchi. Interesting dish, well-made and tasty. However, you have to be in love, I mean, infatuated with blue cheese/Gorgonzola or else you won't like this dish after three bites. It is very rich, very heavy Gorgonzola flavor. I ate it all because I do adore blue cheese, but it was even a bit much for me.
Overall, food is OK. Service team seems to be indifferent. Cocktails are also better than average, but nothing special for the speakeasy type vibe it tries to be. Overall this place kind of falls in the middle for me.
