What's the name, or is it his name? I want to check it out since it's right in my back yard.

I hate to say it but this opening didn't go good. the food was ok, but I'm talking very unorganized and it was like they didn't even know how to run a restaurant. There were 10 people in my party and a friends mom 75th birthday which is what we were celebrating, and thank goodness her meal was good, and nothing wrong, but none of the food came out at the same time, each time a plate came out it would take about anoter 20 mins before the next plate came out, and by the time the last person got their food we were all finished and his food wasn't even done. They kept apologizing for everything, but they really need to learn how to run a restaurant. We ordered drinks and were told that they didn't have a liquer licence, but then we heard another table ordering apple martini's so we were so confused. Maybe in another 6 months I may go back, and hopefully they have gotten it all together by then, but apparently know one knew the day to day of running a restaurant.

Sorry to hear that. Hope the next try is better. How was the ambience? Location?

Everything else was very good, and I have good news. another friend went last Saturday, and it's getting better, the service was good, and the food was good, and they weren't as unorganized as the weekend I went which was gthe first weekend they opened, but I'm saying it was really really bad, but they are getting much better, and oh the protions are very big.

Oh and when my other friends went, Barrett was there and was talking to the patrons and being very friendly. I'm going to wait until after the new year to try it again myself.
