Ok, here is the experience.
As we drove into the parking lot, we noticed that there was valet parking was a non negotiable. In the city this may be a necessity, but Sugos has its own parking lot. Kind of odd I guess. We handed the keys off the the valet and watch them park my car in a parking space 20 feet away.
As we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff who seated us immediately.
As we sat down our server arrived and proceeded to take the next 6-8 minutes explaining the history of the restaurant, the uniqueness of it and the specials for the evening. I would have preferred a simple greeting and a quick rundown of the specials so we could order our drinks.
Shortly after our drinks arrived a manager arrived as well and asked us if this was our first time here. When we replied ""yes"" she immediately plopped a pen and info card on our table for us to put our contact info on in order to receive advertisements from them via email.
First course...Tapas. We ordered the Asparagus, Dates and Bacon, and the calamari. The dates and bacon was very flavorful, if a little short on serving size, fried asparagus was somewhat plain, but the calamari was extremely strong and fishy tasting, as if it was a couple days older then it should have been. Serving size was also small with the calamari, although we never finished it.
Main course was the Pork tenderloin. Big on presentation, short on flavor. Fried artichokes on the side were decent, sauteed onions underneath were cooled, as if they were sitting there a bit waiting for the meat to finish, and the pork tenderloin moderately sized, loaf shaped piece of meat with two hunks of mozzarella jammed into two incisions on either end. The meat's flavor was very bland and uncomplex, and the balsamic based sauce was useful for presentation only.
Third course Desert: The best part of the meal was the Baklava cheescake. Good sized piece and very tasty. If you do wind up at Sugo's order this.
As we finished and paid a considerable bill for largely uninspiring food, we headed out to the parking lot to the valet stand, watched them hustle off to our car 20 feet away and retrieve it for us for a tip.
Bottom line, I've been all over the world and ate at many quality eating establishments. Sugo's fall into the trap that so many do when attempting to play with the big boys in terms of fine dining. Their overwhelming effort is presentation, unfortunately actual taste and satisfaction take a back seat.
