Wow. I if it wasn't for their truffled blue cheese potato chips we had as an appetizer this would have been one of the worst dining experiences ever. The chips where the best ever. They were paper thin curly and not too salty.
For main course I ordered the sea scallops on spinach over a mushroom risotto with ponzu sauce. Sounded good. When the dish came out I tasted the risotto first. It was crunchy; undercooked. Then I moved a scallop aside to cut it and see how it compared. No sooner had I a bite in my mouth than I looked down and saw a green worm, yes a dead grub thing in my spinach. I felt like I was going to hurl. Companion says to me: " Just stick it on your bread plate; eat around it." WTF, who does that?
When I got my waitresses attention she asked if there was anything else she could get me and I reordered. Then my new meal came out: a steak medium instead of medium rare. The fingerling potatoes were a bitter. No manager or chef ever came over to our table. Naturally, our meal was comped.
I really wanted to like this place. They try to showcase organic ingredients. The interior is crisp and servers are very inviting. I know stupid things can happen. If the risotto was properly cooked, the steak was the right temp or if the chef apologized; then maybe I could give this place another chance. Maybe they were just having an off day.
