first off i have to say that we were celebrating a birthday party and we had a partial room. The best thing about this place is the server cindy. very enthusiastic friendly knowledgable server. extremely accomodating and pretty much mastered the service aspect. 5/5 on service and speed of the food coming out and orders organization.
now lets talk about high end food. our table ordered a few things
1) pizza
2) a whole bunch of tacos
3) a raw meat entre
4) salad
etc
now i asked around the table for a review out of 10. tacos 8/10
pizza 6/10 all cheese and nothing tasty or special about it at all.
the beef carpaccio apetizer was 3/10. proportionally even though it was an appetizer it was paper thin the slivers were almost non existant. i literally i felt like i threw away 20$ or whatever it costed. other restaurants serve the same apps or entres and are way more generous with the portions. literally what a waste of a plate and a rip off and it made me feel like this place does not have portion and value integrity. very disapointed.
the martini was on point but you get what you pay for aka belvedere....and a 20$ martini better be good...not great but good. I honestly don't even know how my receipt came to 50$ with one martini and one appetizer. I mean if this place is "HIGH end" the food sure did not reflect it and that is extremely disappointing, because I'm a HUGE foodie, and was really excited to try this place. if they really want to survive in the dog eat dog world out there, they are going to have to really.....change it up. People in yorkville have money, but that doesn't mean they are stupid.
that pretty much concludes my review. the food was extremely disapointing one girl even sent back the food and the rooms i felt could have been more chic on the decor aspect for something considered "high end". obviously the background was stunning and the view of the city but decor lacked to promote the feeling of high end.
the ambience and vibe of the crowd was good the lounge was good and great mentions to the dj with good music.
