text: I like other Yelpers out there are into the whole organic farm to table concept so big ups therennI will not tell you much different than other reviews about the decor or service both were very nice nnThe food on the other hand seems to be getting very mixed reviews which is the focus of this reviewnnFor starters we had the chicken meatballs and the caprese The meatballs were tasty although my friend thought they tasted off Flavors were simple and fresh so that was a better part of my mealnnThe caprese on the other hand was not as good Personal preference and perhaps because I am a traditionalist is the tomatoes and mozzarella are sliced so that the can be eaten together the salad was more of the cubed variety with large chunks of tomato and mozzarella tossed with the shallot and dressing and presented on a plate but not really in an orderly fashion Granted anybody can take pieces and cut them up and stack on a fork to get the medley of flavors together but that seemed to be a little bit of a miss for me More importantly though were the ingredients The mozzarella while housemade was good it was no where near creamy rather it tasted almost too firmdry Also the heirloom tomatoes did not have as much flavor as I expect from heirlooms and were disappointing Could have certainly been a bad tomato but I was hoping for something riper sweeter and overall tastier nnEntrees were the short ribs and the duck confit flatbread The short ribs have gotten generally good reviews so I was eager to try them and unfortunately they were average While the flavors were good they were a touch overcooked because while the meat was soft there were parts that were dry and a little stringy Granted it was late that we dined and they were probably would have been much better if we got them hours prior The overall flavor was good not great nnFinally the duck confit flatbread was very average The duck and portabello mushroom were a good combo and everything including the Medjool date bbq sauce tasted very umami but the flavors really did not meld as much as they should havennOverall the idea is great but menu and prep need to be refined a little bit for me to go back I am always dumbfounded by star reviews Yelpers give out like Cheerios to toddlers which means either a I am reviewing the wrong restaurant b the experience I had was just an off night unlikely or c the reviewers really do not know what a star restaurant should be Who knows This place has great potential just missed the mark in my dining experience
