  • 3.5* TLDR: slow dinner service, bread is cold, water isn't free, food was okay, but not worth the price I came here with a party of 15 for a birthday party - for a large group like us, we were escorted to a small, private dining area (4 tables of 4) upstairs. For those with limited mobility, dining upstairs may not be an option - the staircase was quite narrow and winding. While the banquettes were very comfortable and had a couple pretty throw pillows, the room itself wasn't as atmospheric as the rest of the restaurant. I'd suggest coming here in a smaller group to really take advantage of the beautiful design of the rest of the restaurant. Upon seating, the servers offered to take our coats, and we were given tags to retrieve our coats at the end of dinner. We were offered either sparkling or flat water, and the servers were good at remembering everyone's initial water choice. However, I was a bit peeved that we weren't told that the water wasn't free - we found out when it was listed on our bill. The complementary bread (2 types: rosemary, and a Portugese corn bread) was served cold. The rosemary bread was delicious, but would have tasted even better warm. I did not care for the corn bread because the crust was too hard. Our group received a free amuse bouche from the kitchen; rabbit terrine on a round of crusty bread, topped with an apple jam (not sure if the free amuse bouche is standard for all guests). It was alright, the rabbit tasted good but I did not particularly care for the apple. I tried the grilled octopus appetizer ($28). For the most part, it was cooked well (except for a chewy bit midway through the tentacle) and tasted good on its own. The wasabi aioli was overwhelmingly pungent. After the appetizer, we were served a grapefruit sorbet as a palate cleanser. I had the Steak Bitoque ($40), medium rare. It was cooked to the right temperature, and I quite liked the gravy and frites. The fried egg on top was unctuous. However, I felt that the choice to serve the dish with just pickled vegetables was a poor choice - the veg was just too chunky and sour; I would have preferred a medley of fresh vegetables instead. Overall, I felt that the food was good, but not quite worth the price. Dinner also took a very long time - our reservation was at 8:30, but we did not receive our entrees until nearly 10:20.
