Man. So this weeknight experience/restaurant was so interesting and unusual that I just had to create a profile for them. Also, I need to make a narrative for our experience, which I rarely do. It is located in a very modern urban nightclub that on weekends hosts rappers, thumping music, etc. It didn't seem like the restaurant tied the interesting gourmet menu I'd found online. Not to mention the sign said Xecutive Ultra Lounge, and my boyfriend and I were looking for XL Prime Eatery. We stumbled back outside, a little confused. The waitress/barista followed us out to see if she could help us find our way, and when we checked that it was the right place, she seated us at the hightables that line the restaurant walls. The location is very cool on Prospect and the shape of the interior was very interesting. We ordered the bourbon turkey and henessey chicken, which both sounded amazing, and were both between $15 and $20. I also ordered a pretty tasty wine for $5. So we waited for our food. And waited. And...waited. After almost an hour, I asked the waitress where our food was. It came out shortly there after. That's the end of anything negative. The waitress was very apologetic and accommodating, and accompanying the food was the chef, who apologized profusely and explained that he'd made everything fresh, as it appears most of their restaurant crowd comes along with the weekend throngs. The food was amazing. I LOVE an interesting menu, and these unique plates were prepared flawlessly as far as I'm concerned. Needless to say, these two plates (esp the turkey) were worth most of that wait. The chef came out again, to offer us free cheesecake as his apology. Normally the wait would've been a deal-breaker, but the staff couldn't have remedied the situation any better than they did. The food, the service, the location all contributed to a really great experience. Definitely a place to try. Definitely a place that should be on Yelp.
