1 /5 Brennan Nicholson: Okay. I admit Im picky, I cook in my free time and I have decently high expectations for food. However, if Im going to spend 50$ a plate on food, my expectations arent really unreasonable. My one caveat to this review is that the wait staff and general manager were incredible. Accommodating, professional, and kind. Without them, this place wouldnt even be worth visiting for anything other than a bottle of wine.
I took my girlfriend here for her birthday, and we did the wine tasting tour, as well as the dinner package. In total, it was about 300$ for two hours. I ordered the ribeye and actually sent it back after a single bite. The ribeye was completely unseasoned, literally not even salt. It was a hunk of plain beef with French fries. It wasnt cooked in butter, it wasnt cooked th herbs, there wasnt even garlic powder on the steak, and while I ordered medium rare, it came back closer to well done. Like what?
After sending it back and explaining that, they gave me the sea scallops. The menu is pompous, with crispy fried Leeks to top non-seared and once again, non seasoned scallops. They felt rubbery and like they were steamed. I cant really express how disappointed I was to see a dedicated Chef they seem quite proud of, and how little his kitchen staff seemed to care about the food they sent out. If you love quality food, go to Viscontis, or Garlinis. I wish I could give this place -3/10 for food quality. Their one saving grace is an amazing waiting staff and the leadership of a great general manager. I recommend eating elsewhere.
