A couple years ago I ate at the chef table and was wowed. Perhaps i had high expectations for tonight when I returned........
Not impressed by the meal tonight.
Seating:
Friday night reservations.
Place 40% occupied
They sat my wife and i were seated at a small 2 top table against a wall when there were many empty 4 tops throughout the restaurant. Not a great start. I figured that the must have later reservations booked. Not the case and the restaurant remained half full until we left at 9pm on a Friday.
Service:
Waitress seemed inexperienced and very young especially for a Friday night
Food:
I had the Halibut special. They missed the mark. They must have seared the halibut for a bit too long which caused the fish to get a bit over cooked. The eggplant ragu was overly acidic and seemed to overpower the dish.
Did enjoy:
Beet salad was terrific
The "moon light" cocktail was remarkably tasty. Great construction and flavor balance for both the beet salad and the cocktail.
Not planning on coming back
