Cashmere Cricket

I sat on writing this review for a day, but I now know I need to post it. The drinks were great and the white french dressing was amazing. That’s where my compliments end. Stopped in for drinks and a few appetizers and were greeted by thee most unamused guy with a nose stud. He ended up being our server but never actually introduced himself. My boyfriend even commented ‘if he was any less amused, he would be dead’. My biggest issue is $22 for a charcuterie board of nothing but Aldi products. As avid Aldi shoppers, we recognized every single ingredient almost immediately. It was all salami and pepperoni. We were lucky enough to get 1 piece of capocollo.. we even went to Aldi today and picked out every cracker, cookie, lack of meat, and cheese that was on the board in our local store. I’m sorry chef Andrew.. If you’re going to use Aldi products, charge us Aldi prices.

Honestly, the place would have been great…but as soon as you walk in the door you’re greeted by staff, who could care less about customer service. The ambiance was lovely but the food was…..well store bought (from what I got). For a place, and chef, who states the food is “hand picked” from local farms, the prices would be justified. But when you can go to Aldi, acme, or giant Eagle and get the same quality of appetizers….it’s somewhat annoying. Drinks were great though, which is always a plus

Really used to love this place. Was super excited to introduce my friends to one of my favorite local spots. We went there on a Friday night and we’re greeted at the door by a blond guy who might win a prize for the least friendly person I’ve ever seen “greet” customers. He asked us how many were in our party and when we told him “4” he simply shook his head “no” and didn’t say a word. We all left and couldn’t get over how poor that experience was. We went across the street to another bar and we were still talking about how rude that guy was, when other people at the bar overheard us and said they had the same experience at Cashmere recently with the same guy. It was validating to know we weren’t crazy. It’s a shame too because Cashmere used to be one of my favorite spots. Now I’m legitimately not interested in going there and dealing with people like him.
