Out of whack art to value ratio
I think I just spent the last exorbitant amount of money on fine dining, I ever will, at least in Seattle. It just wasnt worth it!
$20. appetizers with 6 small spot prawns and a slab of calamari steak??
The sommelier took us to the cleaners, the wine was good but ouch..$16 a glass??
Pheasant cassoulet, tepid beans, a leg and a piece of sausage…
I thought the food was mediocre, the restaurant inside was chique and upscale.
I just regret dumping all that cash into an average, luke warm, scrawny portioned, vaguely seasoned, non impressive fare.
King crab legs with truffle gnocchi, no truffle flavor at all!!??$$$39
Service was ok although we had to wait 10 plus minutes for the server to come back so we could order a drink.
I would save my money and go elsewhere, despite its reputation, I was disappointed.
My first car cost 1/2 what we spent. I am not happy with this lapse of judgement .
Dishes I tried:
Spot prawns, crystal calamari
All the prawns werent cleaned, some were mealy
King Crab Gnocchi
No truffle flavor, embarrassed we spent the money
Bruno Paillard Champagne, glass
Excellent but expensive, to me
Alexandria Nicole, Syrah
The highlight of the evening
