| - I wish I could give two separate reviews for this place, as their drinks are good, patio is nice and the interior is great.
My real beef is that the food is really bad, and the service can be almost as bad as the food.
The first time we ate there, my meal was ok, but my partner's medium-rare steak was so over cooked it was grey. We almost never send anything back, having been in the service industry in a past life, but this was the most over cooked piece of meat I've ever seen come out of a professional kitchen.
We went there for brunch a couple of weeks ago, and I ordered eggs Benedict, but the server informed me there was no back bacon, I asked for ham instead, but they had none. Now it was only 10:45 am, they had the entire brunch service left and had already run out of back bacon. Not a good sign. But we sucked it up, and I said ok to eggs Benedict with actual bacon.
When our food arrived, my partner had ordered the French omelette, and it was also so over cooked... I thought we should have sent it back, but the boyfriend diligently ate about a third of it, before finding the interior was plain burnt. My eggs Benedict had a little tiny bit of tasteless hollandaise on them, and were dry as anything. This wasn't helped by the eggs having had the hell cooked out of them, no yolk spilled out, they were solid.
At the end of our meal, I had an empty Caesar glass, that my waitress took as she walked by without asking if we wanted the bill or another drink... She was just going to leave me sitting at the table with no drink!
It was time to go.
If you go to bar Wellington, go for the drinks only. Skip the food. I think we will head up the street a bit farther next time we go out, and will definitely not be eating there again.
