| - It was a good experience except for the fact that I got the runs from the scallops.
I came here at 4pm on a Monday and got seated right away at a table by the window-- really nice atmosphere, I appreciated the gold accents everywhere. Hell's Kitchen is playing on the TV, there's an open kitchen with chefs wearing blue and red team uniforms.
I was starting to wonder about the timing of the service, but my server explained that I caught them between lunch and dinner, which is why it took a little bit longer. I appreciated the explanation so I wasn't wondering where my food was.
I got the pre fixe scallops, beef Wellington, and toffee pudding. Even though I came at an odd time, my server Mike made sure the timing on the service was perfect, so the entree came right after the appetizer, and same for the dessert.
The scallops were tasty with a great soft texture, and the celery compote salad was served warm. It tasted great.
Then the beef wellington came-- perfectly done on the inside and with a flaky pastry. But midway through eating it, my stomach started feeling funny. I hadn't eaten anything since 9am in the morning, and the only other thing I'd had before this was the scallops. I kept ignoring the rumblings since they were coming and going, so I hoped they would go away. I finally had to rush to the bathroom after I finished my wellington, which took a while for me to finish.
Omg. It was that not the good kind of bathroom experience. Thank goodness it wasn't too painful. I think if the scallops were done any less, it would have been a worse restroom trip. Scallops tend to work quickly (thank god I went to the restroom and didnt wait-- I had a half hour Linq high roller right after this, and they don't have any restrooms once you get on).
I told the server Mike that I was worried about the scallops (and I didn't want other patrons rushing to the bathroom either), but that I was ok and that they did taste very good. He asked if I was ok and said he'd let the chef know.
So I sit down for my sticky toffee pudding, which was warm and delicious. But I had to run to the bathroom AGAIN after I almost finished the dessert, and this run was just...liquid. I know, its not a pretty picture. I paid the full bill and still tipped the server well because I overall still thought the food was tasty and the service was good. But I had to follow up with the server before I left to ask what the chef said. He just said they said they'd cook the scallops more thoroughly here on out.
Overall, the experience was good-- taking one star off for the scallops giving me a bad time at the restroom, but otherwise everything was tasty.
