I went to R3 (pronounced R-cubed) for the first time. It was a Friday afternoon.
The atmosphere was very pleasant. I love the décor in the dining area and even the bathroom! Rustic elegance.
I noticed there was only one guy in the kitchen. There was one server working in the dining room.
When looking at the menu, the least expensive item for lunch was $8-9. That is a little out of my range what I would usually spend on lunch, but today I made an exception.
I ordered pork chops topped with savory applesauce reduction, side item roasted potatoes and green beans ($10). I was hoping that it was going to worth the hyped up price.
While waiting, the server brought us rosemary flatbread. It was very addictively delicious. The texture was little flakey and buttery. It reminded me of a savory pie crust but thicker. Sprinkled on top was just enough salt to make me want more.
We waited about 40 minutes for our food (which is not a good thing for lunch). Everyone at my table was beginning to look at the time and ask the server if he knew how much longer it would be. We were hungry and getting anxious. We did have to go back to work. The server told us that our meals were freshly cooked and that takes more time. Uh-huh. But still. Time is of the essence.
Our food comes. Mmmmmm. I was at lunch but I had what looked like a dinner portion of food. I had 2 thick cut pork chops, side of herbed roasted new potatoes, and green beans that were not over cooked. The pork chop was well seasoned and moist.
I would recommend R3 for dinner because the food is delicious.
BUT not for lunch unless you have plenty of time.
