| - I decided to take my mom and my sister to the 1st seating at 6:45 and was extremely excited to be there. They seated us in a great location and I was hoping for the grand treatment everyone had mentioned (like the purse holder and the amazing side shows). None of this happened. The waiter did greet us but seemed to want to rush our order. We needed to take our time since the menu is pretty large and definitely wanted to space everything out to make the most of the shows so I was put off a little.
When the band started, we were so excited. The wall came down btwn the dinner side and the bar and a woman in a gorgeous red dress came out to sing. Except she didn't really sing. Somehow they got stuck on talking about BOOB sizes for the entire 20 min they were out there. They then proceeded to point out women around the bar for their breast size. It was so inappropriate! I'm all for a joke but the ENTIRE TIME? When she did sing, she was lovely but she would also stop singing when someone pulled out a camera. I assume she thinks she looks bad while mid verse?
On to the food. The presentation was top notch Most of it was very good and you could overlook the pricing on the portion size and if you ordered properly, you won't be hungry or broke when you leave.
DO ORDER-
Steak Tartare- Worcestershire Gelée, Cornichon, Egg Emulsion
Short Rib Stroganoff- Penne Pasta, Maitake Mushrooms, Glazed Pearl Onions
(BEWARE- it only has one sad noodle for the huge portion of meat so be prepared to only have one bite of noodle if you're sharing).
Fingerling Potato Poutine. A little mushy but packed with flavor
coconut tapioca (can't remember the details but it came in an ice cream cup.
Delicious but too small-
Hokkaido Sea Scallops- Poached Salsify, Lemon, Vermouth
Caviar Tacos- Hackleback Caviar/ Yukon Gold Potato Shell/ Hamachi
(BEWARE they're smaller than a quarter but really delicious)
DON'T BOTHER- (I'll post pics)
We actually had to send back the Salmon fish. It was gorgeous when it arrived Salmon as it's cooked in a plastic bag which your server has to cut open. The fish had a weird tomato sauce and it was so fishy that it lingered forever. After sending it back, the waiter seemed pissed/bitter and they never checked on us again (not even for water) except to bring us the check and the dessert I mention below.
Can't even remember what "salad" it was. It had an egg on top and 2 pieces of asparagus and a few croutons but almost no lettuce.
The dessert they gave me for my birthday was so gross I couldn't finish. It was really pretty in a glass but the 2 macaroons were beyond stale and the cake ball (?) covered in sprinkles was ice cold and so dense, I couldn't eat it. I don't know why they even bothered.
I eat at the cosmo so much and I was planning to bring my department here for work but not sure I feel comfortable with how it all went and the inconsistancy to give it another chance... time will tell.
