Have tried for a while to book reservations for the holidays here. This time I didnt procrastinate and got in for Christmas dinner. I am basing the rating of this review pretty much on one item that I was disappointed in. Don't get me wrong, the dining experience went well. I am giving 3 stars for the Beef Wellington. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. I think it sat in the window for a little bit as the little helping I had of potato puree and the so-called demi glaze were almost dried out on the plate. Prior to ordering I had asked the server if I should order a sauce on the side for the wellington. He suggested that I eat it as is. Well I should have ordered a sauce. In my opinion, it was just boring. I was also expecting the meat to be super tender, but i did have to work at slicing it. Of course, that could have to do with the medium-rare preparation.
Everything else I had was excellent. There was one piece of bread that had nuts and bleu cheese. Very good! The onion soup was excellent. I liked the thickness and the addition of the cheese covered pieces of bread. For sides I had the street corn and mac & cheese. Those tasted great. And to finish it off I had the lava cake for dessert. Also mighty tasty.
If I choose to go back, I definitely will not order the Beef Wellington again. But, there are other options. Hopefully those wont be as disappointing.
