2 /5 Stephanie Pando: I am not one to normally leave a review without contacting the store, however I can’t seem to find a way to email or call this specific store about my experience. Good experience with the bartender, although I did feel my service changed after sending the calamari back.
I ordered the calamari and at $22, the portion was decent, but it was inedible. I had a few pieces, but it was extremely overcooked, but not just chewy, there was no bounce in the calamari at all. She said it was the last order so maybe it was just old. I understand you can’t clean the fryer every use, but I have decades restaurant management experience and seems this fry oil needs to be changed more often.
I ordered the wedge salad and again, just very lackluster. I didn’t have the menu right with me so I was taking off what seems like residue artichoke pieces that were left in the fryer, I really wasn’t sure. Now I see on the menu those were maybe the “crispy onions.”
Crispy onions should be fresh, fluffy and “crisp.” In reading some other reviews it seems there is a commonality of cheap, not the most freshly consistent ingredients, marked way up.
Anyway, kind of a bummer. If management wants to reach out I’m happy to discuss further.
I didn’t take a picture of the calamari because I thought it was just a fluke-just burned.
