| - I won't bore you with the BS as there has been more than enough reviews which do just that. I will get to the point.
The food is stunningly good. Each ingredient stands on its own. We had the 16 course dinner. Along with the fine food was a touch of wine.
Each and every course was terrific. The apex of food, the promise land of culinary experience.
The service was impeccable, BUT BUT..the Maitre D made a glaring and unprofessional error on our way out.
Lips wore this years Gucci. Looked as good as the food tasted. Obviously, every single team member who assists with the service here must have years of experience. That is why we were perplexed at the bush league mistake of the Maitre D.
From the time we walked in to the moment we walked out, the Maitre D made it a point to stare throughout our meal at Lip's Shoes. Yes, no joke, at Lips' Shoes. It was obvious to the point of feeling uncomfortable. Then, it really made it uncomfortable.
As we were walking out, the Maitre D made what we thought was a very unprofessional statement to us. And I quote, "wow, your shoes are very Shiny."
What the hell is that supposed to mean? The shoes were this years Gucci. Did he mean it as a compliment or was it meant as a put down?
I took it as a less than professional statement. Could I be mistaken? Yes. However if a statement by an employee could be taken as an insult, one would think the Maitre D would not have made a statement which could be misunderstood.
1500 for two. Would we go back. No. But, we were happy to experience the amazing food. Oh yea, we don't understand the big deal of the bread cart. Excellent bread, but come on reviewers, its bread.
