Like many other reviewers, we had also purchased a Groupon for the Beef and Bottle. And like many other reviewers, the food was good.
HOWEVER, the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. We had called ahead for reservations at 6:30 on a Friday. When we arrived and stumbled through the extremely dark interior, we were seated by the serving door. There were exactly 2 other couples in the entire room so plenty of empty tables. The location was ATROCIOUS. The servers going in and out through that door was annoying. Not to mention, they did not keep their voices down, and their conversation was less than appropriate for the restaurant guests to overhear. When we asked to be relocated, we were told the tables were all reserved. For who? invisible guests?
The food was tasty, certainly not inexpensive, and the atmosphere and our experience left us wondering what all the buzz was about. Will think twice before heading back there.
