| - Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced... but they did surprise me with a better-than-expected meal. 3.5 stars.
We had a large party, so we were assigned a pre-fixe meal. Okay, so $100 a person got us only a petite filet, and some appetizers and dessert served family-style, so it was VERY overpriced. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
The appetizers were okay but not mind-blowing... steak tartare was okay, crab cake was decent, and the truffle nachos just seemed like Lays potato chips with some truffle oil and melted cheese on top. Meh.
The steak was larger than I expected for a "petite", and it was perfectly cooked. The flavor was pretty good, as well.
The sides that came with the meal was probably the highlight. The truffle mac-n-cheese was EXCELLENT.. with macaroni (more like.. pasta) that was cooked al dente, and a distinct truffle flavor. Too bad they kind of went stingy on that one and didn't give us enough plates. The creamed spinach was good, and the fried crispy onions, though not special by any means, served as a decent filler.
The chocolate-filled beginets with dipping sauces and the chocolate cake were great. I didn't care so much for the s'mores thing and the cheesecake, but they weren't bad.
Okay, so the perfect indicator of the ridiculous cost of this restaurant is that their wines had a 2.5-3x markup. Ripping us off, don't you think?
