At this trendy loft-feel restaurant, Callie and I were surprised to find slightly higher prices than we anticipated. Expect to pay $50 plus tip for a salad and dinner for 2, sans alcohol. We eschewed drinks this time, sticking to 2-buck tea. The tea was freshly brewed, lightly sweetened. Callie had the sweet potato risotto with mushrooms, I partook in the fried chicken and duck comfit (duck cooked in it’s own juices), served on a bed of macaroni and cheese and coca-cola baked beans. We also shared a mixed greens salad. Both of us enjoyed our meals, though Callie wasn’t as hungry as she thought she was.

As previously stated, the place had the feel of a loft, with exposed brick, and sealed concrete floors. There was a bar attached, non-descript, with nothing to really draw you into it. The patrons were few and far-between, and so our waiter was switched after seating as the previous waiter was sent home due to lack of business.

Service was up to par; they did not look at Callie differently because she chose to come sit on my bench with me. And we walked in with normal clothing, including sandals. Open toes weren’t a problem in the bathroom, which was clean, lighted for loving, and had an auto-flush toilet.

All in all, it was an ok experience for someone who doesn’t expect to get a lot of value for his or her dollar, whether it is in the form of mood or great food. The food was certainly good, though the presentation was affected at times, especially for faux southern cooking. The quality was just not worth the elevated price, nor was the portions or atmosphere impressive enough to make up the difference.
