We had dinner tonight at a new place in Ballard. This was a special night for Bizniks and I was looking forward to seeing some old friends and getting in on the ground floor of a little place that we might be able to make one of our regular spots for an evening out.
I did get to see some old friends, but the acoustics of the place are inhospitable to these aging ears, so conversations became limited to one-on-one, up close–got so that I couldn’t even carry on a conversation with the cute boy across the table from me.
The thumbs-up portions of the evening: silverware with substance, very friendly staff/people, and paper to-go cartons (not Styrofoam).
The thumbs-down portions: underwhelming food and beverages and the afore-mentioned noise. I could elaborate, but that doesn’t seem fair. The restaurant is only a few days old and I suspect/expect some of these bugs will be worked out. We’ll go again in another month or so, and order only an appetizer and a cocktail to share–see how that goes. I hope it goes well; I believe there’s a lot of power in friendly people and I know the intentions behind all this are good.
