Overall, the experience was less than favorable. Upon arriving at Tadich Grill Restaurant with my boyfriend, we were greeted by a gentleman who took our name down for a table. The bar service was actually the best part of the experience since our bartender was kind enough to actually provide excellent customer service, as should be expected for a higher end establishment. When we got seated at our table, we waited up to 15 minutes before we could even get a server to greet us and acknowledge that we were there. There was a ceramic bowl of lemons that looked like they had been sitting there since the lunch crowd, and it was now 7:30 in the evening. Trying to remain in good spirits, when the server did finally arrive at our table, I asked a few things about the menu, specifically about the sauteed crab leg dish. I wanted to find out if it was already shelled for the dish. The server responded by saying yes, it is and also added that this way, they can turn the table over faster. Sit, eat, go. What???? Repulsive. A dinner that costs an average of about $30 per plate should be handled better than "sit, eat, go". So I went with the sauteed crab legs and my boyfriend had the lobster tail. The food came to our table with the poorest presentation I had ever seen. The vegetables were overdone, the rice was bland, and the crab meat was tough probably because they cooked and shelled it with the early morning prep. My boyfriend's very expensive lobster ($50) was tough and overcooked, accompanied by a mediocre stuffed tomato and the same disgusting vegetables. I would not recommend this place beyond the bar scene.
