| - I recently came here with a group of colleagues for a private dinner, and overall it left more to be desired. The wait staff were very polite and attentive; however, the food was just adequate. While the remainder of the restaurant was empty for the majority of the night, we were in the basement for the dinner. The setup was unusual in that many of the guests were left with obstructed views of the presenter.
We were served appetizers consisting of bruschetta and satay dishes which were actually quite good. For the appetizer, we had a choice of a potato and parmesan soup or a salad. The salad, although being quite large for a serving size, was quite bitter. For the entree portion, we had the choice between gnocchi, a salmon dish or chicken breast. My colleagues commented that the gnocchi was quite good, although the accompanying brisket was overdone. My salmon was well done, however the accompanying peas and potatoes left more to be desired.
Many of us asked for dessert to go, as the night was getting quite late. The brownie was quite dry for both the dine-in and take-out options.
I have to say that a highlight of the night was the Stratus Cabernet wine that was served.
Overall, this was an average dining experience, but lacked the 'Mediterranean' dining experience that was expected.
