The anxiously awaited Tri Tip Grill opened today in the Rockefeller concourse. If you work in midtown, especially in the Rockefeller area, you know how exciting it is to get a new lunch place in the neighborhood. The same 4 lunch joints (over and over and over) can only sustain a person for so long.
Let me just start by saying that we went last week for a "preview" day in which we got some free food, and it was excellent. Well today's opening day experience did not live up to last week's visit. First of all, we placed our orders and waited approximately 30 minutes for our food to be ready. It's not like we were at a full service restaurant, it's one of those "order at the counter and we'll call your number when it's ready," so 30 minutes to wait is long. Ridiculously long. By the time all three of us got our food and I got back to my desk, the fries were soggy. bleh. I also didn't really enjoy the sandwich as much as last week's either. Maybe it was just poor ordering on my part, so I wont' blame them for that.
Anyway, I'm told I should give it a few weeks and then go back and see if they've worked out the kinks. I think I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and hold off my Yelp! review until then. I mean, it was their first day after all. One more chance guys, get it together.
