BITE passes the buck on customer service. BITE ran my credit card for another customer 4 days ago and to date they have not credited my card. The bank says there is nothing they can do at this point and the manager Sam couldn't give a toss either way. I have had to call everyday (no call back from them at all) and now I have to go back in and plead my case to get MY money back, which I have not had for 4 days!!! I've never before come across such complacency or atrocious customer service. Sam needs to consider a career as a prison guard (no personality necessary) and BITE needs to know that during times like these money and integrity and opposite sides of the same coin. If the new currency is trust, BITE truly BITES!!!…
MMMm good. I love their tapas style treats. I mean who would have thought of putting dates with bacon..... but owww so good!
Great Experience.
Wanted to take my brother out for nice meal before he flew back to Atlanta. Tapas sounded ideal, especially with our group of 6 (more dishes to share/taste). Brought my 3 children along (ages 7-9),
and they were warmly welcomed to the upscale restaurant. We were seated promptly at the time of our reservations.
I felt the decor was needlessly overdone (what was that mirrored thing on the wall?). The food, though, was fantastic. By far the best was the Lobster Bisque, which is the best I've ever had anywhere in the country. The lamb meatballs and risotto cakes were also fantastic. My husband loved the angus beef sliders, and my oldest son raved about the crab pasta dish. Not quite as good were the flatbread with garlic hummus (very bland hummus) and the roasted chicken pizza (equally boring). The swordfish skewers were also dry and slightly overdone.
All of the other touches, however, made the evening well worth it. From blueberry soda for my daughter to gelatos for the boys, everyone enjoyed all of the recommendations and sharing food. The creme brulee was good, but not great, and the chocolate cheescake was good.
My children had a great time, and are already asking to go back. We certainly will!…
Great small plates to share. Hillcrest's Bite is the small plate brainchild of celebrated chef Chris Walsh (of Cafe W and Confidential) and partner Sam Cuevas. The cuisine here is a mixture of Northern Italian and French Bistro, but definitely with a touch of good old American comfort food. The dishes run from the typical yet scrumptious (the Fontina and Cremini Mushroom Grilled Cheese Baguette) to the interesting (the Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Scallops) to the straight up divine (the Lobster bisque). Bite also boasts a decent sized wine list along with several house infused sakes and some whimsical fruit sodas for mixing. Like to ask a lot of questions? The staff is not only friendly, but everyone from the bussers and runners to the host are knowledgeable about the menu. Not looking to spend a fortune? A four-course prix fixe menu is offered every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night for just over $20, as well as ? off bottles of wine on Mondays and a champagne happy hour every day. From amuse bouche to the very last bite of dessert, Bite will give you a meal that is fresh, comforting and, most importantly, delicious.…
