Review from ERTE Restaurant... (5-27-08)

Where do I start... well the atmosphere and the industrial type building is fabulous... the bar looks lovely and then the host is dressed in street clothes - if I remember correctly she was in a hoodie???? Just a tad weird. Anyway, we got a couple martinis and a glass of wine all of them were good though the martinis could have been shaken a little more because they weren't that cold. We received our salads and Marlo's came with the lettuce being drowned by the dressing and though she had some difficulties with juice splattering she could only eat 3/4 of her salad due to the lettuce being soggy because of all the dressing. As our waitress removed our salad plates she must have realized our food was up because when it got to our table it was luke warm - not that big of deal so we still ate our meal. We ordered the pasta special, the Forest Mushroom Risotto, and the Filet Mignon - pasta was okay thankfully the goat cheese gave it some flavor, and the risotto had good flavor but it was just too much of the same rich flavor (would have been a good side dish), and the filet was awesome. We didn't order any desert which was a good thing since our waitress forgot about us and another waitress almost gave me a paper cut across my face with a paper tablecloth. Our experience wasn't the greatest though the food was not terrible the service absolutely was. We think this would be a great place to sit at the bar and order appetizers and definitely great steak... but good luck.
