I researched tons of restaurants before my family came to town and settled on The Ace. I'd been there once before, but just for drinks and oysters. I'm so sorry I went back. The food including the pate, arctic char, and steak frites were awful - bad taste and/or over cooked. The pate honestly tasted like vomit. We had to send it back. A family member ordered the country fried steak and it was dry and one of the most unappetizing looking and tasting dishes of the night. The server could care less. For somewhere that's supposed to be 'kid friendly,' they would not substitute any sides (can't replace fries with veggies sorry!) and had no kids cup. I'm sorry The Ace, but you have got to do better than this. I'm embarrassed that I took my family here. Thankfully we had an awesome meal at Momofuku for lunch. Ugh.
