I finally tried it last night, and while the food and space was both a solid "A" in my book, the service was really uneven/lacking -- especially at the bar. After about 15 minutes at the bar without anyone taking our drink order (despite repeated eye contact) we were finally summoned for our table. (We had a reservation, but table wasn't ready when we arrived, which would have been fine had the bar been a bit more hospitable.) Anyways, after another 10 or so minutes at our table without water or any sign of life we were a bit antsy...luckily, our waitress was great once finally there. And the food was very good overall: lobster pastry to start, ceasar salad, salmon/bacon entree and scallops. Dessert was just average (rhuebarb), but that was probably due to my misinterpretation of the menu description.<br />Our main problem arose when there was a problem with our wine. We were VERY polite and "nice" about it, and our waitress couldn't have been sweeter, but she took the issue straight to an older Asian woman right in front of us -- who proceeded to basically dismiss us and dress us down. Um......awkward. It was awful, and not a great way to end a birthday meal. However, the food and interior space were pretty darn good, so I will probably revisit and still clear from the manager/hostess (or whomever she was).<br />--ChristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656152423925053837.post-2626146371759887902010-08-30T10:15:52.877-04:002010-08-30T10:15:52.877-04:00Nice!

The wide angle lens got some nice shots, did you have it at Rookwood?<br />The the heirloom tomato salad looks almost exactly like one I had at Nicola's<br />I'm not sure how soon we're gonna make it to Jr Table, seems like we see mostly blue hairs going in but I'm sure we'll make it eventually.5chw4r7zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635910297238841220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656152423925053837.post-46633270478238761552010-08-30T09:32:47.231-04:002010-08-30T09:32:47.231-04:00Your pictures alone make me hungry!
