3rd Valentine's Dinner / Daily Review Restaurant

Sat Feb 14 @ 1pm

On Valentine's day, we double-dated with friends to a restaurant near downtown called

Daily Review.

The only reason we ended up being their Valentines is because we answered when they texted. They actually waited until the last minute to even ask us. (The were holding out for a better option). How did they know that we weren't already booked? Lucky for them we weren't. Lucky for them we answered the text. Very LUCKY.

We sat in the courtyard at Daily Review. The weather was a bit chilly, but we drank some Bloody Marys to warm up.They were serving a lunch menu and also a brunch menu.

Our friend R got eggs with sirloin.

The OTHER got salmon & eggs.

K & I both got the Southern Fried Chicken Breast. It came with black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes, corn and pepper gravy. We both ate every bit of EVERYTHING. We almost licked the glaze off the plate.

The food was absolutely great. The prices were reasonable for a"fancy" restaurant. However, it was a holiday & someone should have had the foresight to know people would GO OUT TO EAT.
The serving staff was short-handed. We got the worst service on earth. The place wasn't packed, but I really only ever saw 1 waiter and the greeter. They were probably running the bar & the kitchen too for how long it took to get anything from them.

I would eat here again because the food was so good. I will give them ONE more chance with the shitty service.

We had a great Valentine's dinner with our Valentines, in spite of the crappy service. For now, I will give Daily Review the benefit of the doubt (my friend R says the service has always been excellent & that this was an exception)
