Gold Coast BBQ at "Chicago q".......oversold?

Maybe the hype of this new hot-spot was a little overdone, but this place was an honest "just ok." (wao wao...in the debbie downer voice).

BBQ in Chicago is done properly in many places, not many of which are in the Gold Coast, so this started off on the right foot opening its doors in the former Tsunami sushi location. The decor and atmosphere were very appropriate. The mint julep and homemade bread n' butter pickles served at the onset of the meal were the only things I favorably remember.

The "just ok" part was a result of the not-so-good service, the overpriced food and the stereotypical Gold Coast staff....not to mention, the food was nothing to brag about. I wanted to like this place since I highly respected the person who suggested it, but the Chowhound Chick's group consensus was "not very impressed!"

Our server added several items to our bill (likely by accident) and when we kindly pointed them our to her, she proceeded to give us attitude as if WE accidentally charged ourselves for food we did not order...AS IF!!!

I don't know about you, but if you're going to have crappy service, the food needs to be much better! Pictured below is the brisket/rib combo (st. louis style....a little gamey), a mint julep and the homemade bread n' butter pickles.
