| - I had such high expectations, but they were dashed to bits.
To start, we had reservations at 7:45. We were not seated until after 9. Ok, that sucked, but maybe they had extraordinary circumstances and we just had bad luck.
I ordered the prix fixe menu. For the starter you had the choice of either a Caesar salad or scallops. I had the salad which was pretty unremarkable. My friend (who also ordered the prix fixe menu) chose scallops. They were ok.. just a touch overdone. We both selected the Beef Wellington. That was disappointing. First, the dish was not hot. At best, it was warm. The crust was warm to the touch. Not "resting" warm, but more like been sitting around and I am getting lonely warm. The meat was tender, cooked well, but (as indicated earlier) not to temperature. Such a disappointment.
Dessert was okay, but not enough to salvage the meal.
The lackluster food combined with a horrendous wait made to whole outing a big fail. If the food was outstanding (which it was not), it might have made the wait bearable.
Too bad.... such high hopes.
