Dad's Deux

We tried Dad's again. We cant resist the allure of supporting a local establishment. It has a great feel there and it is warm. I was wanting a burger and Fords sounded cold. I always order burgers medium when I dont know how well the chef knows how to cook. It was a good idea here since my burger just came out rare on one side and just a smidge past rare on the other side. Since I normally prefer medium rare I could do it, but if I was truly a medium eater than all of the pink would have been a turn off. The fries were also the hardest crispest fries I have ever had. As if they were kept warm till they crunched like a bread stick. My dining partner had a Panini. The flavors were all outstanding but the bread was so hard that it was uncomfortable to chew. The service however this time was great. Our server was much better than last time. All of the servers who were on staff that day worked well together. it was a packed house and they seemed to be working as a team bouncing assistance off of each other. I think I am going to sum them up as having great ideas with their heart in a really good place but are currently lacking experience to keep their quality consistent. The head chef has a good menu in place he(or she) needs to just make sure that the chefs on board know how to duplicate the preparations and not just the flavors. I will most likely go back again to see if they grow into their new restaurant.
