| - I found Copper to be style over substance: Beautiful decor, fanciful plating, and superior service. The food, however, overpriced, under-portioned, and lack some of the classics of Indian cuisine.
I love Indian food because it can offer some of the most delicious guiltless meat-free meal options (which carnivores like myself often appreciate), which is why I was shocked at the overwhelmingly meat-based entrees here. My old favorites like palak paneer or malai kofta were replaced by seabass or duck-confit. I was so thrown off that I actually checked to make sure that I indeed entered the correct restaurant. It is nice to see modern interpretations of Indian food, but I was not prepared to drop $20+ on unfamiliar dishes using ingredients that I have never seen in Indian restaurants before. Perhaps they should consider expanding the more 'traditional' menu items.
I ended up getting the samosas, garlic naan, and tikki masala (as I do not eat seafood, which eliminates a chunk of the menu). The portions made be feel like a child again, due to their size. I left hungry and still craving Indian food, and a little cheated. I was even more perplexed at how I paid nearly $30 for the pleasure of that experience. I do not see Copper in my future.
