Restaurant Reviews

Looks like I haven't been updating my blog since... well... Christmas. Anyway, here's two new reviews I posted on yelp today:

Blue Duck Tavern
Atmosphere: A
Bar: B+ (small, but very friendly with a good selection)
Service: A
Food: A

Synopsis: I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely go back. I just re-read the menu and it looks like some things change with the seasons, so I'm excited to try whatever they think up next. (Full review here)

Wildfire
Atmosphere: B+
Bar: B+
Service: F
Food: C-

Synopsis: Overall, I was very disappointed with the service and food quality. Perhaps the food would have come out better if we all got steak (since it's a steakhouse afterall), but while in the bar I saw a ton of seafood flying out to diners, which is why many of us tried it. The server could have stopped by to tell us the kitchen was backed up, but instead we rarely saw him, except while he was massaging another server while she was folding napkins. The restaurant has separate folks for busing tables, filling water, serving, etc. I'm unsure then, why our water glasses were never refilled without asking and what kept our server so busy that we never saw him. I'm pretty sure there won't be a next time for me to find out. (Full review here)
