Great expectations fall flat for my husband and I. They are trying to be like Aviary in Chicago (with the use of molecular gastronomy and mixology) but miss the mark. They are all about the show but do not deliver with the flavor. I had the Spring Thaw, one of their signature drinks and the gin just overpowered everything else. It was not well balanced at all. For a signature drink that's $25 I think I'm right to say I have expectations. I was sorely disappointed. There were 10 of us in total and none would return. We tried drink after drink, their punch bowls as well and it was all just meh.
