| - For the money not a great value, As the rating says "Meh, I've experienced better"
Had the following:
Appetizer: Rare tuna which was sliced too thin. It was rare but the sauce was lacking and unimaginative. Basically soy sauce and for 12.00 it was not a great deal, Due to slicing it was too cool and was reminiscent of sushi but cooked a bit. Quality of tuna was OK.
Fillet of sole with lump crabmeat. $26 The Crab meat "was" Lump. The fillet had too much egg wash batter which came through as an egg flavor on the dish. Fish was cooked correctly, done but very moist. Lump crab was highlight of dish. Had a butter sauce which was decent and did not overwhelm the dish (or the egg flavor) Came with a few steamed vegetables which were cold by the time I started on fish.
About every 5 minutes just as they choreographed in "team" meetings, Waiter, manager, sou chef, came to table to ask if food was great, It was not but, it was not a battle I'd care to fight over dinner.
I was there for a business diner so it was quite enough for talking although it was also not close to full on a Thursday night.
Over all I give restaurant 2 stars due to the price of the food. I felt it was barely above a decent diner quality(average) at high end prices.
They did have the stained glass windows everyone raves about but, I go to restaurants for food 1st, service 2nd and scenery 3rd.
No one complains about the view at a restaurant with great food but, they do seem to rant about a restaurant with a great view and average food. Grand Concourse is in the second category. Great scenery, average food, high price.
