Long overdue review. We went here 1.5 months ago. With a $25 restaurant.com certificate.
I wanted to like this place. I really did. The wine was fantastic, the service was fabulous. Wish I could say the same about the food.
They don't seat people early. So we were seated a few minutes after 8. No problem, we were hanging out at the bar anyways.
We were greeted with a smile and individually packed crunchy bread sticks. Awesome.
We ordered a cheese plate with five varieties. It came with three dipping sauces. I prefer the cheese without the sauce. Maybe that's just me.
We've heard great things about the prosciutto balls. An order comes with six. It's salty. Very salty. Didn't go down well at all.
Then we had the crispy duck. More like burnt, overcooked duck with no flavor except charred meat. And there was barely any meat.
The goat cheese pizza did little to salvage the meal. But it was the better of the three dishes.
Overall, I was thoroughly disappointed. How did Mario Batali become an Iron Chef if these are the products that his restaurant comes out with?
