| - Simply put, the food was less than mediocre and the service was absolutely APPALLING. Our reservation was for 7:45pm. We got there at 7:41pm. Instead of saying something like, "Why don't you sit at the bar while we get your table ready"..or even "We are running a little behind, we apologize! Sit at the bar and we'll let you know as soon as it's ready," the hostess says to us, "You're early so there's no table available. If you want to sit at the bar, you can, or we'll let you know when one opens up." I was confused and irritated but didn't want to let it ruin our night so we sat at the bar and waited...and waited...and waited....30 minutes later they finally seat us. To my suprise, there were at least 5 other empty tables, which by the way, never got sat the entire time.
The first server who took our drink orders gave us prix fix menus. I asked if we can order off the regular menu and he said no, they were only serving the prix fix menu, which I can't believe they didn't tell us when we made the reservation. But again, I didn't want to be a brat so we just said okay since it was New Year's Eve and we were already there and had a concert to go to and didn't want to have to go hunting for somewhere to eat. It was way more food and money than I wanted to pay, and trust me, we don't mind paying money for good food, but I didn't want to spend $125 on a 5 course dinner when all I really wanted was a steak and maybe some mac & cheese. So the watier took our drink order and never came back. Somoene else came later to take our food order and we asked him about the drinks we had ordered 15 minutes ago. He said he'll check and come back. He leaves as well and never comes back. 15 minutes later our first course comes out. I ordered crab bisque, which was okay. My boyfriend ordered asparagus salad, which tasted like drowned plants. At this point, I'm looking around and trying to wave down anyone who looked like they worked there to find out where our drinks were. Finally, the a different waiter comes back and asks what we want. I said, can you find our server for us, we are just wondering where our drinks are. He says in the rudest tone, "Just tell me what you want, I'll get." So I told him I had already ordered a glass of champagne and my boyfriend had ordered a dirty martini. He left and came back with them within minutes.
Our main course arrived then. I had ordered the filet oscar with lobster mac & cheese, and he had the rossini. My steak was just okay nd his was more medium than medium rare. When I moved aside the "oscar" stuff on top, I could see that it had been completely over-seared so that it literally was a quarter inch BLACK on top, and there was a slightly burnt taste. I had to cut off that part and just eat the middle. The lobster mac & cheese was completely overcooked so that the macaroni was soft and mushy. It was inedible. We were pretty much done at this point and didn't want dessert - hence NOT wanting to do the stupid prix fix menu. I asked the waiter to box up our left overs (treats for the dogs) and to skip dessert. His response, "fine." He boxed it all up and gave me my check. As I'm looking at it, a runner brings out dessert. I had to tell her we had already informed our waiter we didn't want our dessert. She rolled her eyes and just turned around and left without a word. WTF! So I look at the bill and see that he had autogratted 25% already. I waved him down and asked why and he said "because it's new year's eve." At this point, I just wanted to get out of there. We had an awesome evening planned and I was already so irritated by his attitude and the shitty food that I was starting to feel that if I didn't just leave it was going to ruin my night, so I signed the check and left.
Needless to say, I hope this place goes out of business, as I know it inevitably will. Both the food AND the service sucked. I've been there when it was Rare 120 and I had thought the food was okay then, but at least we had gotten good service, and yet that place closed down quickly. This place is not worth even half of what we spent. I would rather have eaten at McDonalds for dinner.
