| - I was already writing my review in my head, including a potentially controversial three rating, as I sat waiting just a little too long for my main course. First of all, I was a little put out by the $18 wine by the glass - 5 ounces! Maybe I'm old school, but at those prices my waiter shouldn't be wearing jeans and we should be eating from table cloths. Next, while technically the waiter was correct, our "shareable" selection of starters - Elk Carpaccio and Albacore Tataki, were both a bit small and awkward to share amongst a group of five.
But here's the rub, the food is spectacular! Between the five of us we had the arctic char, Risotto and the beef. All were excellent. And the desserts, wow!
So I gave in and moved my rating to a four. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to take growing hungry teenagers - like I did! A bit too nouveau cuisine and the prices are just a bit high for the portion size. I not sure if these prices can sustain the current economic downturn given that expense account dinners are becoming more rare.
None the less, the food is excellent and well worth a visit.
