This place is up and down. Really a toss up to be honest. My wife and I were married in January 2016 in the courtyard and the Georgetown catered it. The food was absolutely amazing...the NY strip was probably the biggest and best I've ever had (and let's be honest, wedding food usually isn't very good). The parmesean crusted chicken was outstanding as well.
So naturally we figured the restaurant itself would be just as good. We went there for a valentine's day brunch and it was very good. The service was nice as well. Stuffed French toast and a steak eggs Benedict...
On Friday July 8th we decided to take my parents there for the amazing steak they had at our wedding. Sadly, the menu had changed and there was no steak. Oh well...we started off with the truffle fries. They were delicious. I had the bacon truffle mac and cheese, my wife had the sesame crusted mahi mahi, my mother had the bologense and my father had the bbq pork strip loin.
The first thing that was very appearent was that the chefs do not use, or have never heard of salt. A little salt really brings out flavor. None of the entrees had any salt or seasoning...very bland. We had to have the server bring us salt and pepper. Very odd for an upscale restaurant. Onto the entrees...
The mac and cheese was fantastic but I was expecting a slice a garlic toast or something to go along with it.
The mahi mahi needed salt and was slightly burnt on top of the sesame seeds. The purple pear and apple slaw that accompanied it was unremarkable and lacked any apple or pear.
The bologense, again, needed a dose of salt. The penne pasted was visibly old and had a dark yellow hue and was overly chewy. The sauce, however, was bursting with meat.
The bbq pork strip loin was your basic pork steak. Very large...and very fatty. Yhere was very little edible meat. The bbq sauce seemed to be an afterthought and tasted heavy on the bourbon (I'm just guessing that bourbon was the base). Two large tater tots accompanied it. The tots were slightly undercooked and once again...needed a healthy dose of salt. The server noticed that the alot of the pork was uneaten and asked what the issue was. We explained the issue to the server and she apologized. They offer us a free dessert as compensation.
Like I said, this place is a toss up. The resturant itself is beautiful but a little cramped. We will give it another try in the hopes that it is as good as our catered wedding food.
