The Station

"Service was good but the food wasn't worth the price. Brussel sprouts were charred into nothing and the potatoes were bland and the fish and crab cakes were fine but not worth $29. The cherry cobbler was I think just jarred maraschino cherries with some shortcake on top. Went there on a date. Apparently the quality was better a year or two ago and things have fallen off."

"The good - The restaurant itself was clean and not too loud. Plenty of room at tables. The food - lacked flavor - I had to add butter, salt, and pepper for it to have any flavor. Chicken was dry, and the presentation was not appealing to the eye. Prices are insanely high. Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere. Will not be back."

"We visited for the first time last weekend, we are not local and had no idea that this spot was literally right behind where we were staying (upstairs of the Boulevard Market). We always love to support local, and this seemed like the easiest and best option for our Saturday night at 6:30. I bet it's much busier during spring and summer, so we were happy to be seated right away. Our drink order took a little bit, but we were looking at all the interesting things on the menu. But since they had just cleaned our table (but didn't dry it), the paper menus stuck right to the table and it felt pretty low-end and avoidable. Our server made up for it- he seemed to be bored with the night but was really in tune with our questions and choices. We got the feta/toast app (tyrokafteri), it was basically perfect and we are talking about how to make it at home. Then we ordered the steak combos, which we thought were reasonably priced for what you get. My house side salad was dismal though- dressing was great, but having seen that you have nice mixed greens in house/on other plates, WHY are you using old-boring-leftover romaine and store-bought croutons? Side for the most expensive entree on your menu gotta be cheap and sad? Maybe that's what normal people like? Yuck. Ok moving on. Here comes our steaks, plates look beautiful. Didn't take too long, but we were not in any hurry anyway- so we cut in and they were both under the mid-rare we requested. BF just dealt, but I had a crab cake to hold me while I asked for my filet to be cooked a little more. Server and I agreed that it's better than an awful overdone situation for a nice piece of meat. It came back in a few minutes, it was closer to my temp but still pretty rare. Oh well... the seasoning was right on, and that crabcake was not all filler either! In closing, give this place a shot. Apparently, based on other reviews, don't get cajun pasta or stuffed mushrooms. DO get some drinks and chill out in a booth, take your time, eat some cheese and bread, be nice and honest and they will help you have a satisfying experience for sure. We found so many cute things in town we can't wait to come back. Maybe you'll have scallops again by then? Please? Thanks you guys! PSA: I must warn any cumin haters- the chef apparently regards it as their 'secret ingredient' in the mashed potatoes... I basically love taters of any variety but that was just SO WEIRD. I tried, could not get past it."

"I have tried this restaurant 3 different times. Each time, the service has been great but the food has been lackluster. The last two times I ordered the Cobb salad. The first time they forgot to put avocado on it. I called and spoke with James. He immediately apologized and told me they would give me a free Cobb salad next time. I ordered it again and wasn't charged for it. James also told me he checked to make sure it had avocado this time. Unfortunately when he checked, he didn't notice the avocado slices had the remainder of the pit and peel on them. They were also completely inedible because they weren't ripe. They were like flavorless hard rubber. My fiance ordered the Cajun pasta and he said it was "okay" but lacking in flavor for something that was supposed to be cajun. I feel like this restaurant has potential but always comes up just a bit short. Unfortunately I will not be coming back here."

"We had an excellent experience at this restaurant, both from the food and service. Our server’s name (I believe) was Kayla, and she was one of the best servers I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time! The food was delicious, everyone happy with their choices, and it’s a reasonably priced menu for what you are getting. Bonus, the women’s bathroom was very clean/tidy, which is always a good sign of how the overall restaurant is managed. Highly recommend The Station for your next culinary outing."
