This was fairly mid as far as New American spots go these days. Nothing bad, but nothing great either. Service was generally ok, some notable lapses but otherwise fine, amiable engagement. Decor was standard, unremarkable.We started with the hummus and it was very bland. Some lemon juice and salt couldn't remedy it. The sushi sticky rice with spicy tuna was ok, but nothing to want to order again. Similarly my avocado and shrimp salad was particularly underwhelming, just the ingredients assembled and uniformly presented but with no thought to flavors and textures coming together to be something more than the sum of their parts. My daughter's Margherita pizza was actually surprisingly good. Maybe they should just be a pizza place.I had their version of an Old Fashioned cocktail called the Walnut & Oak. What I expected was a dry, well balanced spirit-forwaed cocktail with some tannin and bite. What I got was something that tasted like a slurpee; meaning overly sweet. They tried to remedy it by cutting the syrup, but it was still an amateurish creation.Only false note dining out this trip unfortunately was Odd Sister, thankfully the only odd one out. - Saminda Wijegunawardena
