365: The Reboot

I know, I know.  My resolve didn't last too long did it?!  Ha ha... I'm not all that domestic it would appear.  The 2nd degree burn from Thanksgiving is living proof of that.  Well, I checked out this new hot commodity in Dr. Phillips tonight with a good friend and I gotta say.... if I were grading like my old school teachers did (and by old I mean I was in school a LONG time ago... no reference to their age).... this place would get a D+ in my book.  The + only comes from a decent Happy Hour.  Other than that.... not too impressed.  Very small seating area ( to the point that the place looked and felt packed all night and I swear there wasn't more than 100+ in there at peak capacity).  Terrible bartenders.  I mean really.  You pour half a glass of wine with the promise to "cap it off" later on... and when I ask you pretend you know nothing about it.  Overall terrible service.  The menu is all steak.  Definitely NOT the place to visit if you are me.  I don't eat beef, pork or dairy.  That left plain salmon or salad (which still was high maintenance to try and decipher options).  I ended up sucking it up to eat a few bites of my friend's pork chop (definitely not what my momma used to make) and the apps we ordered (ahi tuna and shrimp cocktail).  Not a place I'll revisit.  Too bad because my company would normally drop a small fortune at these types of places for a holiday dinner... this year we will return to Timpano's where all of the above does NOT happen.
