The August Good Dinner locale was selected by host Earl: Jim Edmond's 15, a downtown
steakhouse. I had to miss this dinner due to a family vacation.
Unfortunately, it looks like I didn't miss much and it might be best I
saved my money this time around. As for service, our diners gave the waitress
an average 3 spoon rating. Apparently, it seems she was really nice and
trying hard but new and not well trained, which reflects poorly on management
and seems the slow/inadequate service might be due to understaffing. To
further back this hypothesis, patrons were greeted by a server at the
door instead of a hostess, and there was no bartender working the bar at 6:30pm. Hmmm. As far as the
food goes, folks were excited about the menu which sounded promising, but
somewhat disappointed in the quality upon arrival, especially for a menu
with a higher price-point. In addition, one diner felt what may be called an upscale restaurant wasn't reflected by the ambiance - which I'm gathering was lack-luster and maybe
not fully conceived. Overall impression was this restaurant isn't horrible, but
didn't leave GDC'ers
any reason to rush back. I'll give them far less than 15 for sure: 2.5 spoons
out of 5, trusting my fellow diners' sincere reviews.
