They do have a dumbwaiter, though! It was pointed out on an early visit. Maybe they don't know how to work it?

The service was pretty rough when we went the other day. The hosts were just standing there not interacting with anyone, so I walked up to ask if we could be sat and the host snapped at me that there was a line. Oh you mean that group standing ten feet away that you're not even looking at?

Our server had no idea what the beers were and told me to just walk over and look at the taps. And then the few things we did order didn't come out as described (charcuterie board was missing fruit preserves and mustard and instead came with a bucketload of pickled okra and a few pieces of salami and some weird fruity cheeses. And you could choose to get vegetables and/or pita with your hummus. We chose both, envisioning that it would be raw vegetables you could dip in the hummus. Nope, just shredded carrot scattered on top.

Those things could be chalked up to working out kinks on the menu, though, so my real criticism would be that it just seems to be a bunch of the same thing, served on different types of bread. Someone in my group described it as "if Applebee's had bowling." I hope they shape it up and get that dumbwaiter working soon.

But the bowling was great! Really fun!

My understanding is that the building itself was a moneypit.

I balked at the price too but on second thought, they're probably trying to keep it from becoming a madhouse, which I can't blame them for.

Make ramen!

I believe it's open officially today. They did a couple of preview dinners on Thursday and Friday, and it looks good.

Calla's really good and open for lunch today! I also recommend Darrell's and Botsky's. It kills me I haven't been to Tasterite yet, but I hear good things. Cousin's is delicious too.
