text: Solid starscontemplating on but really only a stars I really liked the interior of this place especially the bar area with all the wood nnThe ambiance for the upstairs is more dateish although I was here with Yelp friends We decided to do the tasting menu since we went on a Tuesday Tasting Tuesdays but without the optional wine pairing for an additional It does not really make financial sense to do the optional wine pairing bc you get tastes of wine and when you look at the menu there is only one taste size that is all the others range from Let us do some simple math wine tastes should at least be to make this worth it x So I opted to just get half glasses of wine which came under nnSo the tasting was a bit odd bc it is like a grab bag of items You do not get to choose what you want there is not a set tasting menu it is a anything that the chefserver decides to give you you eat sorta deal and that is your tasting nnSo everyone at our table got different dishes from each other at each course courses total It would have been nice to either have received the same thing for each course so we could discuss even if we did not know what it would be or if there was a set tasting menu Bizarre nnWhile I enjoyed some of the dishes I had fried tomatoes caesar salad with strawberries hanger steak I was not overly impressed As you can see I only remember out of the dishes I had nothing too memorable An annoying this was before they serve you they ask if there are any allergies and how you would like your meat to be prepared I explicitly said MEDIUMWELL since I am not a big meat eater I prefer my meat to be cooked Well when I got the hanger steak it was mostly red it was tender but it was still annoying bc what is the point of telling them you are preferences if they are not going to do anything about it nnThe service was a bit off as they did not really check on us and the server was not too great with recommendations he had none especially when it came to the wine But they did redeem themselves and acknowledged their negligence and gave us a free tasting of wine but it was supersweet wine so none of us finished it and then they gave us a selection of free desserts They gave us a lemon pie of some sort rhubarb something peanut butter ice cream sandwich and balsamic ice cream I liked the lemon pie and the peanut butter ice cream sandwich nnThe free wine and dessert was a nice gesture on their part but could not make up for the other issues
