Mixed experience at Buddy during lunch. The concept seems creative but execution needs work. Food: Corn fritters were disappointing - mushy texture, bitter taste, didn't pair well with toppings. Yellowfin crudo was okay but nothing special, a bit sweet. Trumpet mushrooms had potential but the sauce was too sweet and overpowering. Fried chicken wings were the worst dish - impossibly thick, hard batter ruined otherwise decent chicken. Drinks: Limited to 18% ABV and lower, but bartender made a solid old fashioned-style drink with good effort. Service: Automatic 20% service charge added to bill. Overall: Restaurant tries hard to be innovative with nice presentation but flavors don't come together. Food quality doesn't justify the automatic gratuity. Would not return.
