I went to this restaurant for the first time with a group of my girlfriends just this past Saturday. I had heard that the food was very good and so we decided to go there. Well I was hugely disappointed. The food was mediocre I started with the Carpaccio which was very bland and the presentation, well let's say there wasn't one. The carpaccio lacked flavour and it was served with small shavings of parmesan cheese. I've had carpaccio at other restaurants in the city and it has always been delicious, flavourful and served with wonderful dressed greens. My entree was the Seafood alla Newburg, again bland. My scallops were cooked perfectly, the shrimp was over done, but my lobster tail was a tad too chewy. The sauce was bland, I added some chili flakes and some parmesan cheese and that helped.
The service was lacking and a bit messy at one point as they got our meals mixed up. I also think the bartender hasn't a clue as to how to mix cocktails. My friend had to send her cocktail back three times to get it right and yet it wasn't completely right! One of the servers actually tasted the cocktail from the same glass before getting a new one! Guess she didn't believe my friend when she told her it wasn't good.
The ambiance is lovely, but I was here for the food and unfortunately it was a complete let down.
I will not go back and nor any of my friends. I will also not recommend it.. One of my friends in the group who had been here twice before thinks the ownership has changed hands. She was there in the Spring and said the food and service was great.
