| - Disappointed with my first meal at Eleven. Wife enjoyed the Curried Chicken and Sweet Potato Soup and her Salmon entree. Her Baby Kale and Brussel Sprout Caesar Salad had no brussel sprouts and no croutons. My tasting menu had a decent Tuna Tartare. The Striped Bass was solid. Nothing special. Good flavors, but nothing I would order again or lead me back to the restaurant. The lamb temp was off. It was cooled for too long, and the portion was tiny - even for a tasting menu. The only bites felt cold in my mouth. It was overcooked as well; however, the flavor was excellent. I would order that dish again as an entree. My tasting menu dessert and my wife's warm chocolate cake were both delicious. Every touch to both desserts were amazing. We only complained about the salad issue. Our server was nice and apologized. She said that the brussel sprouts will be on the salad the next time we order it, and that was it. I would have expected a manager to stop by for an apology or for the restaurant to offer to comp something. We ordered two glasses of champagne, the salad, a dessert, corkage of $20, two coffees, etc. Something beyond the server apology would have been appreciated. I have no desire to go back at this point, but if i were forced there for any reason, I would order the Lamb and make sure to get a dessert.
