Well boo. This place has regressed. Majorly. First clue, we were 1 of 2 tables in a restaurant that seats 250. We dined for lunch. Service was nice. A bit overzealous for lunch. But friendly and helpful. The decor remains lovely and upscale and the patio is tremendous. The food - meh. We shared a salad that promised to be a party in your mouth with the wide array of tasty ingredients; alas, it was fairly boring. A good price and size though. $13 and it easily fed three of us as a starter.. Hubby was totally disappointed with his dry dry dry hamburger. Gal pal was equally complacent with her caprese panini. I ventured out of the box, disregarding the warnings of my fellow diners, and ordered the monte cristo. It was described a sandwich with ham and turkey, cheese fondue and berry compote. Sounds delicious! Um, not delicious. First, it was cold in the middle. I had envisioned the berry compote to be inside the sandwich...not the case. The whole sandwich was doused in a slimy strawberry syrup with mushy strawberry halves and whole blueberries. Who tops a sandwich with strawberry syrup and strawberries halves?? It could have been a win if the sandwich was ooey gooey, hot and melty and was complemented with a berry compote inside in a thin layer. We probably won't return to eat anytime soon. Definitely still a pretty locale for a drink!
