So, about 10 of us showed up last night and I think we were ALL disappointed on so many levels; excruciatingly so. I'm amazed, considering how highly regarded this quaint restaurant is. I'm hoping it was just an 'off' night, although for not a single person at our table to be remotely satisfied speaks volumes in itself.
We were forced into a $40 Valentine's Day menu that did not satisfy anyone, let alone even make it to the table for some. Yes, that's right, two people from our group didn't even receive their (potentially mediocre) meals.
To give you a better idea of this mediocrity: the appetizers were a joke; the seafood was painfully fishy and watery; the risotto was soupy and merely rice in a flavoured creamy-like substance; the vegan lasagna was an afterthought of random vegetables tossed in a tomato sauce; the meat looked like leather. Need I say more?
I'm really shocked, even service was lacking and we were the largest group there, forced to wait for prolonged periods of time to simply request anything.
All in all, I spent $50 on an unmemorable meal. At least the company and wine made up for its numerous shortcomings.
