| - My boyfriend and I made reservations about two weeks ahead to be on the safe side. Upon arriving, we were asked to wait (almost a 10 minute wait) and then we were finally seated. When our waiter arrived, he introduced himself but seemed to be very preoccupied with other things..
I asked about some wines and his wine knowledge was not the greatest, I explained to him what I was looking for and decided to go with his following suggestion. The wine did come and I did not drink even close to half. At the risk of sounding too harsh, it was everything I did not like in a wine.
We had many questions about the steaks and the different cuts and he just kept repeating the same thing trying to sell us on the Wagyu. He did not give us any explanation on the different cuts. I did see however another table getting to see a board of their different cuts to choose from. The puffs that came out in the beginning were very delicious. I ordered the lobster cobb salad as an appetizer and my boyfriend went with the beef tartar. When our appetizers came out, they had brought my boyfriend the wrong appetizer (beef carpaccio instead). My salad had nice chunks of lobster and bacon and was great but I think parsley all OVER the entire salad killed it for me (which was not on the desc.)
Our mains were good, the steaks we went with were great. Of course we ordered blindly but not disappointed. Steaks what they do well. The duck fat french fries were AMAZING!!
Our server did not come to see if we were doing ok throughout our meal. After our tables was cleaned off, he came to see if we wanted any dessert. He eyed my full wine glass and did not ask at all why I hadn't touched it all night, much less offer another drink! My boyfriend did go on to order me a whiskey sour which was very delicious and made the right way. For dessert, we ordered 3 sorbets and the lemon sorbet was absolutely the best I've had- fresh and made in house. We asked for some things to go and after paying our bill, we waited 10 minutes and still no take out. We only got that after I flagged him down and asked for it.
All in all, service was terrible (At least our server) and for an almost $600 dinner I would not consider it worth it. My boyfriend and I eat out majority of our meals and try as many restaurants as we can. Unless it was to entertain clients from out of town, I would not return for myself!
