A few weeks ago a modern restaurant opened just down the street & we had to go check it out; My buddy and I do not get many trendy modern restaurants around here, & this one seems to be pretty great, but not only was it based on farm-to-table fresh food, however it was also incredibly pet-friendly & it had really high ratings on Yelp.
- They had a good drink menu & the location was awesome.
They were also trying to do things differently, which I really respected. The owners of the restaurant decided that they were going to have an open-air eating establishment. The family room was closed off to keep your food safe, as the government regulates, however the entire front of house was open to the surrounding air. This allowed them to grow lovely plants all around, & create a really incredible ambiance; Unluckyly, all that Ambience does not make up for bugs in your food. While we were eating, the air temperature was seriously comfortable. It was a lovely afternoon, & we had a fresh blowing breeze to cool us down anytime the sun was feeling too hot. In fact, every time I took a breath I loved the stink of lovely gardenias floating through the air. Well, I should say for the first 20 minutes I stinked fresh gardenias. Then, the wind shifted. Suddenly, the fresh blowing breeze was filled with the stank of garbage. I began choking on my food, trying to hold back my nausea. This open-air restaurant was a major oversight when they forgot about the stinking dumpsters in the alley next door. What was worse, were the swarms of flies.
