Continuously arriving charred proteins are a thing of beauty but, it doesn't come cheap. And as great as it is to be able to leave in a paleo-induced coma, what really disappointed me here was the lack of attention to detail. The meal alone will set you back about $50/person before tip, drinks, wine, dessert, etc. Throwing all of that in, it is easy to run a tab closer to about $100/person. For that, I expect a little more than just a meat fest. My biggest gripe is that for a place that earns a large dollar amount per person, I would think they could put a little more thought into their wine program. The list comes in a heavy leather-bound cover which is promising until you open it and read mainly mainstream, easily recognized names and labels. Also, none of them have vintage dates next to the choices so you have no idea what year you could actually get. This results in anyone who is the least bit interested in vintages to have to ask the staff. In doing so, I found out that the staff really has no clue about wine and they had to go to the cellar to sequentially check each one. 2 of the labels I inquired about they did not even have any more of in stock. The 3rd choice I inquired about was a year that was horrendous. Each time I made an inquiry, the server disappeared for about 5-10 minutes to check on it so by the time I made my 4th inquiry, I was about 30 min into this process and ready to drink Chateau du Shit if that was all they could produce. The fact that they have fairly mainstream labels, they don't list vintage years, they don't seem to put a lot of training time into their wine program with their staff, and they don't seem to keep their lists up to date with what they do and do no have in stock make me really question their commitment to the wine aspect of the meal. In many places, this is not a huge deal to me but when you are spending about $100/person, I expect the entire meal experience including the wine to be pretty darn good. While the meat was plentiful and tasty, the wine program sucked and the tab was pricey which is why I can't go more than 2 stars for this visit. I'll go again because I like to take down animals en masse as much as the next person but next time I think I'm going to stick to water.
