| - My girlfriend and I went here for a late Valentine's Day dinner (exams and finals interfering with the "proper" day). I'm certainly glad I called ahead because the place was jam-packed when we got there. We were given the options of being seated inside now, or outside shortly. We opted for the latter to enjoy the beautiful night air. The restaurant bar that we waited at was surprisingly crowded too. I don't know if they were short-staffed that night, but, the fact that it took almost ten minutes to get the bartenders attention was just and indication of the way the night was going to go. While the drinks (my manhattan and her mojito) were quite good, they were also quite pricey. Far more than I thought they were worth. Whatever, right? It's for Valentines Day.
Well, that just kind of kept going. My ribeye was.....fine. Pretty tasty but....well, maybe I'm just not a fan of ribeye. The soup, a cauliflower-chorizo blend, was good. Again, just not worth what we ended up paying for it. Happily, my girlfriend really enjoyed her foie gras stuffed chicken, at least.
All in all, good, but as a dining event, not worth the $100-ish dollars. The service is pretty good and the location and ambiance can't be beat. I'll give it another try, but there is quite a queue of places for me to check first before I rush back.
