Ate there Saturday and it was just awful from start to finish. For those who don't know its is the new owners transformation of Cafe Pierpont. My wife had a craving for the Cafe's awesome crab quesadillas. We were already there before realizing the change but decided to try the new place out.
The place was very quiet, just a hand full of customers and a equal number of staff. We waited for a few minutes until someone walked over and got us seated. We opted to sit outside which was a mistake due to the gnats. The menu is totally different and sadly no crab quesadillas. Over 20 minutes later my wife steak burrito hits the table. For $12 you would expect something decent but a small dry burrito with a glop of beans and rice is a little disappointing. Time passes, passes, at 15 minutes I have yet to get my food and we think about bailing. 20 minutes later my seared ahi salad is delivered. At this point we are having a pretty crappy time. The steak was overcooked and borderline inedible. My wife being a trooper pulls the shoe leather out and eats the minimal vegetation remaining. My salad despite its elaborate description had no flavor. 10 minutes later the waitress brings out a plate with sour cream/guack/salsa which should have been there from the beginning. We tell her the steak is over cooked and she said she would tell the kitchen. With the check she hands us a 1/2 off appetizer coupon for next time. Since there will be no next time I gave it to a group of ladies seated behind us. I left alot of the little things out that contributed to the craptastic expierence but you get the idea.
I'm done bitching..... thanks for listening.....don't eat there....and I need a moment of silence for the once tasty crab quesadillas that are no more :-\
