I am new to this whole online review thing and I love it! I can't wait to post more about my favs and not so favs. I am reviewing the slocum house because I had the displeasure of going there the other night. First off, let me say the service, from the hostess to the bussboy was top notch all the way. I've eaten at some of the best restaurants in the country and they are right there on top of their game. Now, the food!!! What the hell????? I remember when Crush 29 opened, everyone was talking about the food and after I went there, I was like meh; pretty good, and I have eaten there many times since. The Slocum House wasn't even...meh, it was like the ""chef"" watches the food network for inspiration! I mean black truffle mac'n'cheese???? It would have been ok had it tasted good but it didn't, it was wierd. I had the artichoke appetizer with a bleu cheese ""fondu"". It tasted like cream with hints of bleu cheese! At Crush 29 they have a really good artichoke with sesame seeds and an awsome dipping sauce. Also, the wine list sucked at slocum house compared to places like cush 29 or the firehouse or hell, even Raleys for that matter! But, with all that said they will make you and a date feel special....like a king really. If your into good food this isn't the place for you!! I would have given them one star but the service was so good....parking blooows by the way, wear hiking boots:)
Pros: Service
Cons: FOOD!!!
