| - Went there last Monday night. We made a reservation, but it was really unnecessary. We got there at 7:30pm and as it got later, it filled up a little more. It is very bright inside, maybe a little too well lit. It's modern decor and the elevator music was a nice touch. There is also a lovely 'fire and ice' style fireplace to add to the ambiance.
Our server Ivan, was very nice but seemed to be the only one there for the wait staff, so service was a bit slow.
We had the ahi tuna for the appetizer and it was very good. The bread basket that was brought out had a variety of selections. All were tasty.
We had the special, which was a veal chop with julienne vegetables in a brown sauce, and it was fatty, but veal chops are anyway, so it was good. My steak was a NY steak and while done the way I ordered it, it was served on a big white dish with a small grilled onion as the garnish. That was it. Looked quite sad. Who eats an onion? The presentation left a lot to be desired and I think that a tablespoon of potatoes or rice would have more than completed the dish. But I get it, everything is a la carte here.
The grilled cream corn was good, not great, as I have read, and the creme brulee for dessert was good, but the brulee crust was not hot when served, as it should have been. It came with a small scoop of raspberry sorbet, which was rather tart not sweet.
Overall, it was a decent meal and with only a lemon-lime soda to add to the cost, it was $135 before the tip. Pricey.
