Our first experience at SBE's new MXO Steakhouse was subpar, food and service was mostly underwhelming, a waste of money!! Despite the restaurant being beautiful inside and out, the service, food and experience was quite bad. We were not seated for nearly half an hour, despite having a reservation and despite two seater tables available in front of our eyes. As we waited, a reservation for 4 came in and was seated immediately, no wait. It was very odd to go up and remind them that we have been waiting a long time and there's a table right there for two, and to finally get seated only based on my multiple reminders. We proceeded to order the ginger beer mocktail and various dishes to share which included the bone marrow dish, squash mole, carne asada, and broccolini. Our waitress was hard to find and when she did come by, she had no patience when we asked about various dishes (again it was our first time). After she left us instead of assist us with the decisions, we finally made our orders. Truly the only thing that was of SBE quality was the carne asada, the rest was pretty subpar. The bone marrow itself was fine as it is really everywhere, but the bread/melted cheese which the bone marrow should go on was terrible. I don't know if the bread was stale, but it felt like biting into a mushy grainy apple that has gone off. I think it's the first time in my life I was not interested in eating bread with cheese. Then on to the Mole squash dish -- I am quite a Mole fan -- this sauce had a tanginess that made it seem like something in it has gone bad, it just makes no sense for the warm chocolatey flavor of traditional mole. The broccolini was more edible than the mole but still had a weird tanginess that didn't make sense for the dish. Additionally, I had noted on our open table reservation that we were there for a bday (my husband's), but no one inquired about that. Finally, we tried to pay with our SBE giftcard and they wouldn't accept it!?!
