The service was incredible slow. Not sure if they were under staffed but our server was doing bartender duties and trying to service our table. Drink order was missed and had to find someone to fill it. Food was okay and for the price certainly underwhelming. Presentation of the food was lacking as well. Big disappoint due to the excitement of trying a new restaurant.

I really wanted to like Slate, because the menu sounded great. But everything was over-flavored. The bread had a too-salty crust. The chefs salad was soaked in balsamic dressing that overpowered the flavor of everything else. The Lobster Mac was so rich I couldn’t even finish it, and I love lobster mac!!

First time here. Not a lot of people but it was a mid week day in Dec. People at the bar were very loud, so kind of intruded on a nice evening out. Our server was excellent. Food was not worth the price...just being honest. Scallops were kind of dry and not paired very well with sides...some weird, dry, mango pancake things and cherries. The ribeye was very good but over priced. The deconstructed beef wellington app was amazing...definitely would order again. Never been and wanted to try it...we did, but will probably try other places before heading back. Again though the server was excellent!!

My husband and I went for our wedding anniversary dinner on a Friday. The service and food was amazing! Try to surf and turf, you will not be disappointed. The crab cake appetizer was delicious as well. If you like sparkling rose they have a great one that would pair well with any dessert. This was a great place to celebrate any special occasion, worth the expense.

We had dinner at Slate this weekend to celebrate a birthday. Our table was in the window and the restaurant was not very busy. Our server, Jeff was very thorough in his explanation of the menu items and suggestions. My husband had the surf & turf and I had a filet. We had the parmesan crusted potatoes and creamed spinach along with the copped salad too. The lobster was sweet and tender as well as the steaks. The parmesan crusted potatoes could have used a bit more spice and flavor, but the aioli added flavor. The cream on the spinach was watery. The food took a little long to come out on a night when they were not that busy, but Sorellina was very busy. We enjoyed our dinner and with a little more attention to detail this could be a very nice restaurant for special night out.

Slate shares a kitchen with a restaurant next door that is much busier than Slate. That means you will wait a long time for your dinner to arrive. Ours took over an hour. The food itself was excellent. The restaurant also seemed understaffed. We won't be back even though the food was excellent.
