Chi Dining Lounge

Came in on a Monday night around 8:00pm. I heard really great things about the back outside lounge area, however it was raining so we sat inside. There was only one other table and a few people at the bar. I looked up the menu online before so I had an idea of what I wanted to order. When the waitress came over I ordered the peanut butter martini I saw on the website, but as it turned out they did not have the ingredients to make it (strike one). I decided to go with the St. German tiger, which was very good. My husband ordered a Stella, which they were out of (strike two) and wound up with a Perroni.

For dinner I ordered the fig and prosciutto pizza, but again they were out of fig (strike three). I then decides to go with the roasted pear and cranberry salad, but once again, they were out of cranberries (strike four). I was really about to leave at this point but my husband wanted to give them a try. My last resort was the Chi salad which had fruit and walnuts, finally something they could actually make. My husband ordered the Panko tuna.

While we were waiting they brought out bread with sauce on it which was served cold, It was good and a small plate of olives. I noticed my water had a fly floating in it (of course) (strike five).

When the food arrived it looked good. My husbands mashed potatoes were pipped and very fancy looking, however they were bland lacked flavor. He said the tuna was very good, but they forgot the wasabi.  My portion was small but the salad was good. However, a few of my strawberries were moldy (strike six!). We passed on Dessert, didn't want to risk it.

Overall, the waitress was very nice. She seemed used to all the issues, but still apologetic. I decided to tell her about the strawberries in the salad, just she could hopefully alert the kitchen and make sure it doesn't happen again. She did take it off the bill, which was nice. But you would think with all the issues and the lack of tables the manager would have come over to apologize, but no go. I think he was at the bar doing shots....

I would not recommend coming here for dinner, too many issues!! Not even interested in coming back for drinks and checking out the back area when it's nice out.

My wife and I stop here regularly. The food is very good and the drinks are too. the service is very friendly and accommodating. The manager Robert even sent us over a round of drinks! definitely a plus in my book! Go check it out!!

The Grilled Shrimp over mixed green salad was tasty.
The fresh spinach with drizzled tomato sauce was good as well.
The place has a cool vibe.
