my wife called cube (after looking on city search for a new place to try) this past friday night to see if we could get a table for two. the answer was yes, so we ran out the door for a (sort of) date nite.\r
\r
we were seated quickly at a little table that had been reserved for us. the server was quite pleasant, but as I read in one review about cube, and agree with, the service was also inattentive.\r
\r
we were offered two little pieces of cheese, with a fig ... a good way to introduce you to, and possibly to sell you cheese that they carry .... the cheese was very tasty.\r
\r
NOW TO THE REAL FOOD AND THE REAL PROBLEM. my wife ordered the salmon, which came over cooked and slightly stale tasting (just a bit off). my pizza margarita was simply uneventful. I know that this is a pretty simple pizza, but the cheese was too heavy, and the tomato had zero flavor.\r
\r
my wife's mixed green salad was nice ... good mix of greens with an uplifting, and pleasant dressing. the best part of the meal was the side of kale that I ordered. the greens tasted quite fresh, and had a nice flavor and texture without being over done.\r
\r
when the server finally did check in with us to ask how things were (we had not seen her around since the moment she placed our food and literally ran off - yes, they were busy), we did tell her that the fish was over cooked. she asked if my wife would like to order anything else. since we were three quarters of the way through our meal and she had, at my suggestion, eaten half of the pizza, she declined. the server said ""sorry"" and walked off. \r
\r
in the end, as the server dropped off the bill, she did tell us that she had taken 40% off the cost of the salmon. at the time I thought that this was very nice. in retrospect, I am not sure why she charged us for it at all. \r
