| - So I rarely give ratings of 1, and only do so when the meal was so unenjoyable that I would have been happier eating a bowl of cereal for dinner.
To note, I am not a picky eater at all, and am just as happy going out for pho as I am going to a 5 star steak house. I just hate when you go to a somewhat upscale place and the food is worse than street meat. For the price we paid, I could have happily eaten congee wong take-out for a month -___-"
Appetizers: Grilled squid with some greens and sauce - all you could taste was salt. Charcuterie plate - this was pretty good, good cuts of meat with some bread and mustard to dip. The only decent dish of the night.
Mains: Sirloin (which, by the way, they are supposed to be known for) - we all ordered them medium, and all were done closer to medium well/well. All tough, chewy, unflavourful, slabs of meat that went unfinished. The potatoes accompanying the main were undercooked, and the greens were so salty they were un-edible (they seem to love salt at this place). My friend ordered the chicken and it was also very dry and had an odd taste to it.
We would have brought this up to the server (especially the funky smelling/tasting chicken and leather-cooked meat), but alas, he never stopped by to check on us during the meal.
Head to Bar Isbel down the street if you're in the area. 10000000X better and you will spend the same :)
