We had booked a group of 15 girls for a bachelorette party at 6 on a saturday. It was 1920's theme and thought the décor would be perfect. Everything was scheduled ahead of time and a 3 course meal was planned and pre-arranged weeks in advance. We arrived and were seated in the far corner of the restaurant at a long table. The place is beautiful of course. We were expecting a fine dining and fancy experience. After we arrived our server came by to fill water for everyone. When talking with here she said this was only her 4th shift there so the rest of the night we place no blame on her part. She took drink orders, most of us sharing bottles of wine, a few getting cocktails. We were there for 45 mins before any of us got our drinks and some bread. Then it was another half hour to get our salad. It was a good salad with kale and watermelon. We then waited another 45mins or so for our entrée of roasted chicken. At that time we were all starving having come with empty stomachs and waiting so long to get food. The chicken breast was dry and tough. I was not impressed at all and since being so starving was very unhappy about this. Then we waited another 30-45mins for our dessert of crème brulee. It was good but nothing above what I've had at less fancy places. In the end It worked out to about $80 per person with the 18% gratuity for our large group.
I understand that managing large tables is very difficult and things can take longer to cook. But this was planned months in advance and a pre-set menu so why the courses were so far apart was difficult to understand as everything should have been prepared. Our poor waitress also had little help. When bringing out plates of food she was doing it all herself and obviously only able to carry 3 plates at a time. It was frustrating to watch this and we wondered why she was not getting help with running orders and clearing plates? especially because she was so new. The place was never busy with only a few tables at a time apart from ours. For a place like this I expected more surperior service and especially food. It was definitely not worth the price. I orderd 1 cocktail the whole evening and that alone with the added gratuity cost $20!
I definitely do not recommend this place for a large group of any kind. Very disappointed and killed the energy of our celebrations.
