Warehouse No 1 Restaurant

Apr 7th, 2024

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I think this place is totally overrated and way overpriced. Ive been here three times now at the insistence of others and Im just not impressed. Food: This last time I upgraded my salad to a Caesar which added $5 and it was so totally lame. It was quite literally just Romain lettuce with shredded cheese on top and dressing. I should preface that Im gluten free, so my options here are pretty limited- In the past Ive ordered the salmon which was decent the first time, but so dry the second time that I didnt waste the calories by eating it. I will say that the jalapeo grits were really good both times though. This last visit, I ordered the 6oz filet ($30 before the salad and side upgrades)and it was pretty decent. They nailed the medium rare cook temp and the flavor was great. I upgraded my side to the loaded baked potato- which wasnt anything to write home about but Im not sure how any restaurant makes this any better than another. Regarding service, our waitress was friendly enough but we were with elderly people and they were all having a heck of a time trying to understand her because she was so soft spoken and she spoke very quickly. Ultimately she only spoke to me and I played translator for the table. Again, these were some old hard of hearing folks, so whatever, it happens.. but it was the fact that she acted put out and annoyed by it, She also didnt bring the hush puppies until our meal came out. Speaking of the hush puppies.. I think is their replacement for bread at the start of a meal? I dunno, Im from the north and these things still confuse me) Atmosphere eh in my opinion, they have people crammed in there to a point where it really does take away from the experience. All three times I visited I was in a different part of the restaurant and all three times there were people crowding around the table trying to walk by, pushing up against your chair and servers with trays coming by right next to your face, and while they do have a live piano player - whos actually pretty darn impressive- you cant hear him play unless you are right by the hostess booth. Okay, so Ill break this down- if this was half the price, Id be cool with the inconsistency in the quality of food and uncomfortable atmosphere, but for the price tag, the food and experience needs to be much better for me to walk away feeling good about this.
