I normally start all restaurants off with an inherent 3 stars. Then, I remove or add stars as required throughout my experience.

The initial wait for a table was a bit longer than initially specified. Be it inexperienced wait staff, busy lunch rush, etc., I was going to let that slide. However, the doubling of the wait time combined with the 45+ min wait for food was a bit disastrous, in my opinion. Plus, none of the staffed came to check on us the entire wait. It's definitely reprehensible to feel like your forgotten in someone else's establishment; for that, minus one star.

When the long, begotten food finally arrived, it was underwhelming. The duck confit was tender enough, but the taste was bland and lacking salt at best. The braised mixed greens beside the duck were a wet salad at best. The shallot was definitely lost amongst the kale and mustard greens.

The lamb chops were delicious enough, but the polenta was chewy to the point a steak knife was needed to saw edible portions. The accompanying cesaer salad lacked a sort of panache, let alone croutons and flavor. Most likely a homemade dressing, it drenched the salad with almost a pure cream-like taste and texture. At least the lettuce remained crunchy and inviting.

The kids mussels, granted are for kid, tasted like they were steeped in onion-wine water that refused to chemically bond with any other ingredient. The mussels themselves were succulent enough, but Toby's mussels in Coupville blow them out of the water.

The kids fish and chips was the best tasting dish on our table. It's also really hard to screw up good fish and chips.

So, all in all, the taste of the meal resulted in the deduction of another star, leaving them with a meager single star they can decorate their hat with.

I would not return with the multitude of other available establishments with a higher bang-for-buck ratio.
