| - I could not contain my excitement for the Valentine's Day meal that I booked at Alex based on the fabulous reviews on yelp, and from the restaurant's website. Oh, I cannot tell you how disappointing this meal was. First of all, I figured on a $300-400 meal-it was almost $700. And the meal was just not good. 2 out of my 3 courses were pretty bad. We actually heard other diners saying the same thing. I ordered butter-poached lobster that was tough and bland. My husband ordered the seafood linguine appetizer that he said was "OK." For my entree, I had the veal loin which WAS good. My husband had the short ribs which he, again, said were "OK." I finished with a carrot cake with sauteed apples which I didn't even EAT. My husband had the caramel chocolate bomb, which HE didn't even eat--I ate that while he enjoyed the two scoops of ice cream he requested along with the cake. Several of the amuse bouche were very tasty, but for that much money, I really expected a pretty mind-blowing dinner...and it wasn't even good. Picasso, Aureole, Nobu...all these are so much better and far less expensive.
