2&2 Slider To Leyritz

I wanted to love it, but you can skip it.
Wife and I showed up after the rush around 8:30PM. Sweet Old Bills was fairly well attended, but not packed.
We were seated promptly, and I was stoked.
Waitress shows up, wife orders a dirty martini, I get a beer and start with pork skins. Martini comes clean, but that gets fixed. Pork skins are awesome, but the cheese sauce tastes like it came from a can.
Wife orders the kale salad with salmon. I get the Ruben, but sub 1,000 island dressing for blue cheese dressing (I call it a Blueben, it's amazing and you should try it). Wife asks for a second martini whenever our food comes, same as before, but bruised.
Dinner comes, salad is meh (missing an ingredient and the salad is >50% arugula with tiny bits of kale), salad salmon is great. Her martini is not bruised or dirty (again). Waitress takes it to the bar and the bartender must have bruised it with the olives, because when it comes back there's frozen olive oil specs floating in the glass (gross). My Blueben was an atrocity; they smothered the thing in 1,000 island and then threw some actual blue cheese on it. Then burned the shit out of it; the rye was black. Collards as a side were good though.
I'm not a picky dude. Any one or two of these things would have been totally overlooked. Waitress screwed the check up, but at that point I didn't even care. It was worth it to just leave at that point.
The place has potential, but the bar, kitchen, and staff all have some growth opportunities.
You would enjoy Noble Smoke.
