Decent before a Show, But More than a Little Od
The Friars' Table的点评
点评：Playhouse Square deserves and needs a restaurant that reliably delivers a great dining experience before a show. The Friars' Table is, perhaps, the most recent effort, but it falls a bit short of the mark.
The Friar's Table is located in the former Cowell & Hubbard restaurant space on Euclid Avenue at E. 13th. The configuration is more or less recognizable, but the decor and vibe are very different. On the strong positive side, one of the people behind this restaurant is Edwin Chrostowski of Edwin's, with a similar social conscience mission of helping those formerly incarcerated to find gainful employment in the hospitality industry. We fully support that effort and have had a great experience at Edwin's in Shaker Square (which is reported to be moving to the old Nighttown space).
The general theme of the restaurant is, as the name tells you, a Friary. There is lots of wood and stone. The menus are printed on coarse, parchment-like paper. Our table had a fountain nearby. The waiters all have similarly designed clothing with earth tones. Curiously, the music is from around 1980. We did not expect Gregorian chants, but it subtracted from, rather than added to, the vibe.
On an absolute scale, we had a good experience, but it was an odd experience nonetheless. First, the service was a mixed bag, which we expected. Still, it was obvious who had an affinity for customer service and those who did not. We don't care about your past -- just appear welcoming and happy to entertain guests. Our primary server had that mindset; others did not. The food was actually very good and generally well presented.
Second, the timing was not what one might ordinarily expect. We arrived before 6;00 on a Saturday night to see a show, but they were already out of what they described as their signature dish. What?! We ordered an alternative, but the entrees arrived about 5 minutes after we placed them, and before our appetizers. What? Our sense was that the menu contemplated food cooked in advance that could be served on short notice, but it was odd to get our entrees so fast, followed just a few minutes by the appetizer. What? And why so fast?
Similarly, the wine menu was about as basic as you can get, with roughly four choices of house wine and little detail other than the varietal (e.g., "chardonnay") and no label or vintage. We had a half-carafe of Chardonnay that, despite the above, suited the meal. We appreciate the choice in selection, but it was not clear why they could not have told us so. We don't mind if it changes -- that can be very good.
We enjoyed our time here, but the experience needs a little work. We are frequent theater-goers, but w'll continue to look for a regular for dinner before a show.

翻译：Playhouse Square 值得拥有一家餐厅，也需要一家能够在演出前提供绝佳用餐体验的餐厅。Friars' Table 也许是最近的尝试，但它还差得远。
Friar's Table 位于 Euclid Avenue 东 13 街，原 Cowell & Hubbard 餐厅所在地。布局或多或少可以辨认出来，但装饰和氛围却截然不同。从积极的一面来看，这家餐厅背后的人之一是 Edwin's 的 Edwin Chrostowski，他也有类似的社会良知使命，即帮助那些曾经被监禁的人在酒店业找到有报酬的工作。我们全力支持这一努力，在 Shaker Square 的 Edwin's 餐厅（据报道将搬到旧的 Nighttown 空间）获得了很棒的体验。
正如名字所示，这家餐厅的主题是修道院。这里有很多木头和石头。菜单印在粗糙的羊皮纸上。我们的桌子附近有一个喷泉。服务员都穿着类似的土色调服装。奇怪的是，音乐是 1980 年左右的。我们没想到格里高利圣咏会响起，但它却削弱了氛围，而不是增添了氛围。
从绝对意义上讲，我们的体验很好，但无论如何，这是一次奇怪的体验。首先，服务好坏参半，这是我们预料到的。不过，谁对客户服务有好感，谁不喜欢，还是一目了然的。我们不在乎你的过去——只要表现出热情好客和乐于招待客人就行。我们的主要服务员有这种心态，其他人没有。食物实际上非常好，而且总体上摆盘精美。
其次，时间安排并不像人们通常所期望的那样。我们在周六晚上 6:00 之前到达，看一场演出，但他们已经卖完了他们所说的招牌菜。什么？！我们点了另一种菜，但主菜在我们下单后约 5 分钟就送到了，比开胃菜还早。什么？我们的感觉是，菜单上的食物是提前做好的，可以在短时间内供应，但主菜上得这么快，开胃菜上得却只有几分钟，这很奇怪。什么？为什么这么快？
同样，酒单也是最基本的，大约有四种自酿葡萄酒可供选择，除了品种（例如“霞多丽”）外，没有标签或年份。我们喝了半瓶霞多丽，尽管有上述情况，但还是很适合这顿饭。我们很欣赏选择上的选择，但不清楚他们为什么不告诉我们。我们不介意它发生变化——那会很好。
我们在这里过得很愉快，但体验需要一点改进。我们经常去剧院，但会继续在演出前寻找一个常客共进晚餐。
