I have never posted a review of a restaurant good or bad in my life, but I am still angry over my experience at this over-rated, ill-mannered restaurant. We got there early in the evening with hardly anyone else there, eagerly awaiting all the good things we had heard about this place. If there's ever a reason to ignore the Best Restaurant Polls, etc in Creative Loafing, this is it. The guy who waited on us appeared to be the manager, and was not very friendly at all. He was arrogant from the start. My wife ordered a hamburger, and I ordered chicken wings and the frittes appetizer. Simple stuff really, but after 15-20 mins the guy came over and said our food would be up any minute now. It was 35 mins overall before our food came. No apology, nothing. Starving we inhaled everything, whereupon Mr Personality reappeared sniffing, ""I guess the food was good"". When I pointed out that he had starved us for 35 mins, he merely asked if we wanted any dessert. Got the bill and left, suppressing the urge unload on this guy. To top it all off, another group came in shortly before we got our food, and got their food in less than 10 mins. Two of the dishes were the same ones I ordered. NEVER going back there again, BTW the food was okay nothing at all worth bragging about.
