Scott Conant would have "Chopped" his own restaurant last night!! Dinner with 11 friends, reservation made weeks ago. We were seated in a location that the staff had to continually pass things over one person to another as they wasn't enough room to walk around the table to serve each person. The apps came out in a scattered pattern and the hot ones were anything but hot! We even had to send one back as it was downright cold. The entrees were marginally better. They arrived with in minutes of each other! And of course they had to get one wrong!! Which took almost 15 minutes to get right and out to our table! The $50+ steak, that was recommended and ordered medium rare came out medium well. The veal chop that I ordered medium rare came out medium and obviously had been sitting on the pass line as it was room temperature at best. When we explained the continuos problems to the Manager/sommelier he response was these things happen. Well these people will not happen to be going back to Scarpetta. In a town with hundreds of choices that go out of their way to make your dining experience enjoyable, this one should be Chopped off your list!
