My brother had a groupon for this place so we decided to go here for dinner. My brother had been here before and said his experience was 3 1/2 stars. He did say almost everything on the menu was out.
Arrived around 8pm on a Saturday. Only two other families were there. Beautiful decor. Very modern and an overall warm feeling.
Ordering: Waiter gave the specials and we ordered martinis which took a bit to make it to the table but they were pretty good.
To start tried the tuna tartare. The color seemed a bit off to me and it had a little bit of a fishy smell. A friend from japan told me fish only starts to smell fishy when it's on it's way out. I was hesitant but hungry lol so forks up! It was pretty good but a little bland and lacking flavor. The avocado should of had like garlic salt and pepper mixed in or something. The salt was missing.
For my entree ordered the short ribs which the waiter tells me its out. My brother tells me they were out the last time as well. My guess is they only order so much because they don't have a lot of business then run out super fast. Most people will order this item. So it boggles my mind why they get so little.
As a back up I get hanger steak over a red pepper salad with mash potatoes on the side. My steak was medium rare in some places, medium and medium well in others. I asked for medium. The flavor was pretty tasty though. The roasted red pepper salad was long strips of red pepper and poorly pickled onions underneath and arugula on top. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and lacked any flavor or salt.
My brother ordered one of the specials which was stuffed seafood salmon. Which was salmon stuffed with shrimp and crab that came with a cream sauce, asparagus and mashed potatoes. The cream sauce was excellent. I kept dipping my steak in it. The salmon was really good as well. The only frown on that is some restaurants leave the blood line in the fish which makes that bite taste muddy or just off. (Blood line=brown strip in middle of fish). I give his entree 4 stars.
Conclusion: Service was ok and food was average. They really need to flavor things more. The food was not worth $114 ..but it was worth $54 which is what we paid after the groupon. I would say check it out if need be but don't have high expectations. I can think of many other places worth $114. I will say our tummies were a little sour after. Maybe the tuna? Not sure but nothing too bad.
