AAUUGGHH!!! What happened to the weekend? Did I slip into the Twilight Zone of the Outer Limits and spend the entire weekend locked in an office tower chained to my desk? EL - what's happening? Save me, Fox Mulder.

It seems a bit on the pricier side and is relatively new, so we are saving it for a special occasion place.

I have been there twice. Honestly, I give it 6 to 12 months tops. The decor and atmosphere is nice, but the food does nothing to draw people in.

EL,

I was at Saute about a month ago with several others celebrating a birthday and I could not have been more disappointed. Knowing and having been familiar with owner/manager Tony Guarino's other ventures, I expected top notch food and top notch service, but unfortunately we received little of both. The service was slow and inattentive, which wouldn't be so bad if the waiter simply acknowledged that fact instead of playing it off as if we were being difficult. Moreover, the entrees came out cold and some people didn't even get what they ordered. In all fairness, the appetizers and the overall ambiance were fantastic, but sometimes that just doesn't account for the greater shortcomings. Needless to say, we were disappointed and won't be going back.

That's mostly my problem with it Mike. The entrees are/were on the pricier side and I didn't feel the results warranted the money.

This is like deja vu all over again. Didn't I see this make a brief appearance on Friday?

We went to Saute and the nachos scared us away from the entrees. I thought upscale bar food and was horrified to be served home made mac n cheese sauce over store bough chips with a HUGE pile of peppers bigger than any meat that was in the dish. So we wanted the check and wanted to move on, and we were given someone else check. The server also tried to tell me that Gazpacho was from Italy, what a joke!

I wanted to be the first to say: Meat loaf is the crab cake of the land. But .......

I too tried to post in the present on a blog from the future that references an article from the past the didn't yet exist.
So I got Scotty to crank it up to warp 9 and a wee bit more and then we sling-shotted around the sun, I killed Joan Collins and the world was more or less safe from Nazis, but not meatloaf or crabcakes.

Don't squeeze your David Duchovny pillow to smithereens Pianist Rob. The new X Files movie drops on July 25 and new episodes of Californication start soonish. Soon you will be knee deep in Duchovy's snide, wistful, mumbletastic controlled verbal effluvia. But he can't help you yet.

The meat loaf -- it's out there!

I saw this on another Sun restaurant blog. I might go there tonight, despite the Zima drinkers and people requesting spherical ice cubes in their Zimatinis.

"Mick O'Shea's (328 N. Charles St.) runs a pretty sweet special on Monday nights. For $6.99, you get a burger, beer-battered fries and a draft of your choice.
When Pierre and I went last week, I ordered a Zima -- a beer which would have cost $4 by itself at a normal pub -- with my burger. The burger was delicious and the service was good too. And, unsurprisingly, the place was pretty full for a weeknight. "

Gazpacho is from Italy.

I did a nickle with him in Qwerty for a cackle-bladder gone wrong on a long con in Ephrata. His people are carny folk from Porto San Elpidio, hung tight with the Albanese Ponzi rackets until the hammer came down in '98. He's good people. Nacho? Dimed me out for a Mexican slice goes by the name Conchita Ferrari. On the game in Juarez, takin' no prisoners, doin' a donkey show. Steer clear 'cause she'll pawn your jewels faster than a two-legged Chinaman says 再见.

Since when is there another restaurant blog on the Sun? What's a Zimatina? Sounds awful. Help, I'm confused. Jesus help me. Seriosuly Jesus, there are leaves in the pool filter. Get the skimmer. Dios Mio.

Mr.OF - You are correct, hence my conspiracy-sounding first post dated 6/13.

OMG/X - When I saw that time-warping premature post on Friday, I summoned my inner Frank N. Furter and danced up a storm.

TD - you mentioned appetizers in your post but EL said there were no appetizers. It's easy to do so I'm confused.

You know, I've been thinking for awhile that Mulder and Scully never had to look further than D@L for aliens. We have a wide assortment: whatever they were looking for. The truth isn't out there, it's already here!

Susan WNAJ, stand up slowly. Walk to the kitchen. Look in the freezer. The truth is there.

Piano Rob,

They must have changed the menu since I was there, which is a big shame because like I said, the apps were the only thing that worked.

I'm pretty sure the blog that Owl Meat is referring to where he saw mention of the Mick O'Shea's special was Sam Sessa's Midnight Sun blog. More of a nightlife blog than a restaurant blog.

Just a shot across his bow to let him know that we are watchful and vigilant while our leader is at Sewanese commando training. I just received a communique from Pierre that he is in Sam's kitchen squaring off his spherical ice cubes.

I can't hold it in anymore:

Sewanee,
How I love you,
How I love you,
My dear old Sewanee.

gazpacho is originally from Italy. However, it was tomato-less for centuries.

I always thought gazpacho was from Spain. Wikipedia seems to think so, too.

cold soup? i don't get it. messes too much with my mind.
