| - There is very little more disappointing than a meal you've been looking forward to for weeks being extraordinarily mediocre. Oh, except maybe that it's also $300 for 2.
I love meat. My boyfriend loves meat. We came hungry and excited. We ordered the ceasar for the table, duck fat fries, potato puree, and two filets, one US, and one Canadian both aged for about two months. We sipped on a bottle of wine and salivated.
The ceasar presentation is impressive, and it was delicious. No regrets about that, except maybe that I didn't write down the recipe.
And that's where the fairytale ends. The steak came out. I don't put sauce or lobster or mushrooms on my steak - meat should be able to stand alone (and then you can decorate it all you want, but it SHOULD be able to stand alone). And this meat, was bland. It was the right temperature, the meat quality looked good, but it simply lacked flavour. My boyfriend's was the same. The duck fat fries were delicious, but the potato puree was too creamy, like a soup almost.
I was extraordinarily disappointed. This place is across the street from my building, and I would have loved for it to be the answer to my "I NEED MEAT" days.
