I really like The Concept. And The Sign(age).
I really don't like the experiencial takes (of so-called customers) on Day One.
Cut 'em some slack. Fer cryin' out loud . . . Geez.

The day that I pay $16 for Mac and Cheese, slowly served, cold, is the day that I walk on the ambiance.

However: Unless it is German Potato Salad, potato salad is best served cold.
So they nailed it on that one . . . I guess.

All kidding aside: This reminds me of Olympic Lanes (in Boulder, CO, c. '68) except with haute (as compared to hot) cuisine.
Apparently . . . New-Age Cooking Reconstructors of the Past need to watch more Walt Disney films. (just kidding)

The one thing I know for sure:
I want to visit this place when the Hipster Swarm has migrated.
For Real.

(to add a little depth and texture to what hits the plate: I'm watching one of Rick Bayless' productions on how to make homemade Mole. not that I will ever make what he's doing . . . just to 'cred-up' my personal concerns with "fine dining" as compared to "fast food". =)
