| - Party of four , early New Year's Eve dinner. Fair.
I offer my comments having eaten here once before and thought it was good though clearly a step below Capitol Grille down the street.
They take early reservations, ours for 5:30 They start valet parking at 6:00. So you can drop your guest off at the door, but they can't figure out a way to shuttle from a lot and have the valet claim the car for the guest at the conclusion of the dinner.
Price fix dinner $75. With wine, party of four approx $425.00.
Salad tasty but quite small. My rather small though advertised as 14 ounce NY Strip Steak had four pieces of gristle cooked rare though I asked for medium rare. I thought Chef did good job with seasoning, but I was thoroughly disappointed with the quality of the steak itself. Food was served on what I would consider all side dishes, small six/seven inch oval ceramic plates. It was not an appetizing presentation, and the same applies to the creamed spinach and potato sides. The dessert was a mini cheese cake and some type of chocolate ganache cake. Both soft, no contrasting taste. The waiter was okay, the servers very nice. I did not see a manager or supervisor orchestrating the floor flow.
In the end it was okay, fair, not an early New Years Dinner that we will remember. Hope it is better if we decide to dine there again.
