| - With the chef's pedigree, I expected something much better. First, the place is too dark, and would be trendy, if it were 1988. It look like some eighties wall street banker's coke dream in there.
The food is decent, but nowhere near as good as Lolita across the street. The lobster corn chowder was mostly cream. The bacon wrapped foie gras could have been good, but the bacon was burnt and the foie didn't have that nice sear on it. Then I ordered an appetizer sized portion of the carbonara. First of all, the portion is ridiculously large. Second, it wasn't proper carbonara. There was a pool of creamy white sauce, with the poached egg on the bottom. There should be no cream in carbonara - just egg and cheese, with pancetta. If you're going to add cream, don't put that much in!
Service was good, though. Probably won't be going back.
