"What a let down... We?ve been looking forward to enjoying this fine dining restaurant for months now. At first glance, it was kind of odd that such a new facility was already having signs of wear. The booth we sat in already had stains on the cushion. The menus had foods stains and the drink menu looked to be reused from some other time and place. Not to be deterred, we went ahead and ordered apps and drinks. To our surprise, we were informed that the cappuccino machine was down. Puzzling since they haven?t been open long. But okay. 30 minutes pass... Now our absentee server has made an appearance and asked if we?d like to place our main order or wait for our appetizers. We ordered. She also comes back to refill our drinks and proceeds to fill a cup with water that had initially held sprite. Rookie mistake. But also forgiven since we were enjoying ourselves. The apps came 40mins after sitting and the main course soon after. The food was beautifully cooked. Presentation was immaculate. However, the most important mark of flavor was sorely missed. The food was severely under seasoned. We had to ask for salt and pepper to make the food palatable. The temperature of the foods was also room temperature. Disappointed to say the least. For almost $150 for two, we expected MUCH MORE. Foods ordered: wagyu carpaccio, shrimp tempura (very good), onion soup, elote, broccolini, Brussel sprouts (tasty), scallops, 10oz steak, and half bird. We?ll try again in a few months and hope for a better result. The server we had was very inattentive. Other passing servers checked on us more often, refilled our drinks and cleared our dishes. We ended up going next door to Starbucks for some coffee. Also turned out that the cappuccino machine wasn?t ?down?, but no one there knew how to use it. Thanks for the transparency."

"On the recommendation of a friend I was convinced to try Hooters once more. I'd long abandoned them as source of good food after repeatedly waiting a long time for lackluster food. My buddy tells me that Florida Hooters are different, so I tried them again. Is a Florida Hooters different? No. The wait time albeit was slightly shorter but considering i ordered 10 naked wings in Hot with ranch and blue cheese, it shouldn't have been that long. Before I go further, yes, Iordered naked wings. I have nothing against breaded, I was just in a naked wing mood. As I waited for my order the table adjacent to me was served a pile of breaded wings and they looked big so I was excited for my order. Unless these wingscome from two distinctly different sources I'm convinced that the wings I saw served were 90% fried breading. What I received looked sad. My favorite tiny wings sat in a small pool of hot sauce and grease. They looked like the rejectedpile from a bag of wings. Luckily they weren't dry, the saving grace to making them still edible. They tasted fine, like the sauce which was expected but in terms of size or distinction I was left with the impression I could have donebetter with my air fryer and store wing sauce. What got me was how tiny they were! Runt of the litter chicken wings. The food sucked, but the staff was friendly and cheerful. The tables were clean and the building looked pretty new so ithad that going for it. I wouldn't mind returning if it was an event or a get together but not coming just for the food (which some would argue if anyone really goes for the food, but I did cause I wanted wings and everything wasclosed). If anyone has wing suggestions hit me up! Tijuana Flats wings are really good (one bad experience out of five visits) and I've enjoyed Varsity wings as well."
