| - Had reservations for a couple of weeks. Tried to order a cake for my husband's birthday (we were visiting family and are from out of town), for a week calls back and forth. Incompetent manager (which is a mild review), called, would have a conversation-first the catering manager would call me back (never happened), then the manager would call me back (didn't happen), then what was it I wanted again, then manager wasn't there, then he would send an email with options (didn't happen). Place is unorganized as hell. Food...meh. Octopus rubbery, apps overall less than expected, pork was bone dry, tenderloin was passable but flavorless. And then there was the cake. After that much back and forth I would have expected a cake for the ages, an amazing, amazing bigly cake-but NO! They purchased a cake from the store in the building (my cousin had purchased the exact same cake at the store prior which is how we knew). Pluses are the server (who was great!) and the location-oh and there's a polenta side dish we thought was ok and some Brussels sprouts-a bit too sweet but pretty good. I'll say this-we live in probably the best foodie city in the country, or at least on the east coast (DC)-so we are slightly spoiled. Unfortunately this level of overall service and food quality was mid range at best-certainly not worth the $1200 food tab for our table. Meh.
