The Phoenix

So, went back. Really wanted to try the roasted beet and kale salad. I was concerned when I ordered and was warned that the salad was «smaller in winter». Um. Beets and kale are prime winter veggies!
Ordered it anyway due to my irrational love of beets. Waiter offered that to make it bigger I could add a protein. («we cheat you on ingredients, charge the same as normal, and now think you should be up-​charged to make it worth it»).
Salad arrived, small as stated, with burned hazelnuts and one noticeable piece of bacon. The worst part is that I’m upset but the ingredients were pretty darn tasty… except for bits of nut char, but I could’ve forgiven that since its tricky to do right.
Maybe I won’t be talked into it again. ;)
p. s. Nice service again. Well, except for someone at our table offering a compliment to an expediter and her loud reply of «well, you’d think some people actually do this for a living!!». Appropriate cheeky response for a diner hun, not a cloth napkin level joint.
Bummer man.

We were there on 8−21−15 for Happy Hour. We had a table for 8 in the bar area. Our server was excellent and the food was GREAT. Pulled pork tacos, BLT sliders, prime rib sliders, calamari, etc were very tasty. The beverages (wine, martinis, and cosmos) were good. Highly recommend
A bit on the noisy side, but a great time had by all
