Customshop: Handcrafted Food

Both (cold) appetizers were tasty. Entrees were flavorful but cold. When my dining partner asked for her seared tuna to be warm (it was cold throughout not even room temp) they reheated / overcooked it to the point of being inedible. They should have remade it fresh and served it warm. My own entree was room temp but not hot, as pasta should have been. Server was defensive and unapologetic. Unfortunate. We expected more for a $150 dinner.

Very nice restaurant interior, but I was not impressed with the meal. The best items were the cerviche and the bread. The squid ink cavatetti was ok. The scallop crudo, grouper & pork shank were pretty much tasteless. The mashed taters were tasty.

We ate at Customshop last night with another couple and had mixed reviews. The small plates / starters were good. Between 4 diners were shared 2 butter lettuce salads, 2 yellow fin tuna crudo, and 1 order of house burrata. Everyone enjoyed the starters and finished them all. The bread they served initially was quite delicious as well. The entrees....ehhhh. Three of us ordered the whole branzino. The waitress offered to have them filleted but the were not and there were a ton of bones. Flavor was so so vs other similar dishes I’ve had a my other restaurants recently. Pretty disappointed. My wife had the potato caramelles. She thought the my were so so as well. I tasted and thought the parsnip purée was pretty good but the mushrooms disappointed. We skipped on dessert, but shared a bottle of Brooks Runway Red throughout the meal that was good. We have had better experiences here, so not sure what’s up.
