i never do this type of thing, and it honestly takes a lot for me to comment negatively to the waitress or the manager, but our meal tonight was not acceptable. we wanted to get several apps since the entire menu sounded great, and i always want to try as much as possible- especially when i am trying a place for the first time. the first one we got was the braised pork belly. i love pork- all kinds, and i order pork belly a good bit. i should have known not to eat it when we had a lot of difficulty cutting it. once i took a bite, it really only got worse. it was so under cooked, and poorly cooked, that it would not break apart in my mouth. i have never done this before, but after 3 solid minutes trying to chew with no success, i had to spit it in my napkin. next, the fritto misto was a bust. this dish is typically known for how light it feels, though it is fried. this was like a bad fish fry, and there was no salt and no flavor. the butternut squash ravioli sounded promising, especially since it had a sage brown butter sauce, but there was way too much butter. it was drowning in butter, but not in a good way. it was just too oily in your mouth. the cheese plate was so-so, but cheese is a hard thing to judge and is always a toss up! i hate to be so down on this, and the waitstaff and management were very apologetic, but the bottom line was that the food just was not good. the chef never should have sent the pork belly out that way, and the chefs on the line need a refresher in why seasoning food is essential. i am so thankful that i had a living social deal, because having to fork out real money would have been even harder to swallow that the rubbery pork. i know there are a lot ofgreatreviews, and i think they have even won awards, but after ordering the majority of the app section with nothing to show for it, it makes me wonder how they have gotten good ratings and recognition. i do love food, and eating is my hobby. i am by now means a food snob, nor am i a hard-to-please customer, but i do think that my experience here was enough of a bust to share with others so that people can have a better expectation. i rely on urbanspoon reviews a lot, so i hope that this is helpful to others wanting to give satterfield's a try!
