I had great expectations for a night out with my wife. We made reservations but asked for a table outside should one become available. On arrival, a table was available on the deck and we were seated in a great spot to enjoy the view. Our server arrived, very pleasant and we ordered cocktails. Our drinks took 20 minutes to arrive. We then ordered the mussels for an appetizer and ordered our mains as well. Our mussels came promptly and were quite good, although not spectacular. Our drinks were empty for a while as we awaited our mains. Mains arrived, I ordered the Short Rib and my wife ordered the Portabello Mushroom over ravioli. My wife ordered a glass of wine to enjoy with dinner and I ordered an IPA. First bites of our meals were less than appealing... I think my grandfather may have enjoyed the short rib because it was BLAND and mushy. My wife's was bland as well. The food was certainly not worth the price as it was MEH at best. Our drinks arrived after about 10 minutes, and this is after our server should have hustled them back to us so we could have the drinks with our meal. It was strange because our server didn't seem that busy but she took forever with our drink orders. Overall, MEH service, MEH food. There are much better options out there... oh ya and the domestic dispute on the patio made the night a little interesting and the two servers being catty with one another as they took down the umbrellas was less than professional. We won't be returning.
