| - If it wasn't for our server Daniel, it'd be a 2-star experience.
Service was excellent, I have nothing but great things to say about the service; unfortunately the food is lacking.
I ordered a steak tartare for starters. It was ok; I was disappointed in the choice of using mayo instead of eggs, but that's not too much of a concern. The divers' scallops were an issue.
They came out overcooked (it was rubbery in texture), I took one small bite (probably 20% of the medallion) and sent it back. They had no issues with it. What was the issue was that the second dish came out undercooked. If I had to pick a poison, I'd pick the latter, which I ate; but the core of the medallion was luke-warm in temp at best. I've cooked scallops that size; it ISN'T that hard to do to get em just right, and I'm not even the cook of my household. I really hated to have to sent it back because it takes a while to grow scallops to the size of those things and now 1 if not 3 just got wasted for no reason. The ox tail stew reminds me of some of the beef jerky I've had. Way too salty, way too chewy.
My girlfriend ordered a "crispy" pork belly. The skin wasn't crispy, actually according to her words no part of that meat was crispy at all. The piece was too dry as well and not tender. It was also overseasoned.
We went with our friends who recommended it. I REALLY wanted to like it, because the service was absolutely excellent, but the food really left us disappointed.
