Disappointed that it was recommended to me
I’ve been given rave reviews of this resturaunt. It fell short. All I can say is that I went with a large group and with drinks etc it was about $75-125 per person.
The orders were wrong. Meat too undercooked, too well cooked, allergens included, special requests ignored – this was not the fault of the wait staff. It was actually ignored by the chef who was rude when we spoke with him!
And it to top it off the chef on duty was spiteful. Meat that was ordered medium came out bloody rare and had to be sent back. It was returned charred black! We were stunned. There were many other problems, but sufice to say our $2000+ was wasted there!
The only nice thing was the decor and the wait staff. The decor was nice, and gave a relaxed atmosphere. The waitresses wonderful!
It’s just such an expensive shame and disappointed to have a resturaunt hyped up so much and to have it be such a HUGE disappointment.
Maybe they were having an off night? I don’t know. All I know is save your money, do your research and GO SOME WHERE ELSE TO EAT!
We ended up tipping the staff heavily because we felt so badly for how poorly they were treated by the proprietor.
Dishes I tried:
Varied
Medium was ordered; Bloody rare was served. Returned it for more cooking and well done, charred was returned.
