As regulars of the establishment that previously occupied this space, we walked in with high hopes and a bit of nostalgia. Given the positive buzz surrounding the new spot, we wanted to see if it could live up to the standard of our old weekly haunt. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit of a roller coaster.
The Service & Drinks
Our waitress was nice and attentive. She pointed us toward the Cowboy Wagyu Shareable, which sounded promising. However, the bar experience got things off to a rocky start. I requested a Long Island Iced Tea, specifically asking for it to be "strong and sweet." What I received tasted more like a sugar-free iced tea. I traded it in for a Moscow Mule, which was fine, but certainly didn't "wow" me.
The Food
The kitchen results were equally hit-or-miss:
Cowboy Wagyu: We asked for Medium, but it arrived Medium-Rare. While some prefer that, it wasn't what we ordered, and it made the "shareable" centerpiece of our meal a bit disappointing. It also relied too much on salt which was visibly on the steak.
The Sides: We tried several, but most were unnoteworthy.
The Standout: The Crab Meat Mac and Cheese was the undisputed star of the table. It was the only dish of the night that was memorable for the right reasons—creamy, flavorful, and well-executed.
The Verdict
We gave it a fair shot, but it didn't quite capture the magic of the previous spot or live up to the glowing reviews we’d read. While the staff is friendly and the Mac and Cheese is excellent, the inconsistency in the bar and the kitchen means we probably won't be returning to our "weekly regular" status anytime soon.
