| - Service was good (because we were spending a ton of money). They even brought a little stool out for the ladies' purses. Food is so-so and extremely overpriced, hence the two stars.
It's a good place to people watch (I've been told that it's a good place for celebrity sightings) - but particularly if you enjoy watching old dudes with their barely-legal companions. There was Red, who wore a tiny, red tartan bustier and skintight jeans that were so low-riding they started at her pubic bone. Then there was Baby, who looked about 16 and wore a paper-thin wife beater with no bra, a pair of sloppy jeans, and a pair of fake, fuzzy mukluks. I can see why they'd choose One - there's a hotel located conveniently upstairs! What I don't understand is, if I were in that line of work and I were meeting a patron in such a swanky locale, I'd opt for a barely-there cocktail dress. Why wear jeans???
Anyway, the food. My French onion soup was really sweet, for some odd reason. It tasted like I was drinking onion syrup, basically. And the sad thing was, there was only a little sprinkle of cheese on top of a small slice of crunchy garlic bread - and I think that French onion soup should be covered in a respectable layer of delicious, bubbly cheese. The garlic bread was nice, but the soup was pretty atrocious.
My striploin was cold, which was a crime. If you're going to charge $70 for a steak, it better be really good! But it was cold probably because they cooked it first (and it needed very little time on the grill since I wanted it rare), so they had it waiting for all the other dishes to be ready so that they could serve it at the same time. I think they should have grilled the steaks last. It tasted alright, and it was decent beef, but for it to be cold, and $70 to boot? No. The marrow was ok. There wasn't much of it, though, and It could've used some salt.
The best part was probably the truffle fries. Truffle, parmiggiano-reggiano, and fried potatoes just go together perfectly, like chicken and rice. It was way overpriced, but it was tasty.
Overall, the service was very, very courteous and attentive (even though it was kind of funny how our server answered everything - comments, non yes/no questions - with "Cheers."), but the food was just no good. The service and people watching deserve one star each. But to charge such a high price for subpar food? No. Skip it.
