| - Oh Wellington's. (See the pun in that?) Had it not been for one of my dining mates storming off in a huff due to bing told very rudely to take off his ball cap by the blonde woman with the terrible hair I would've given them 5 stars. (Was that a run on sentence? I apologize for that.) We had no idea ball caps were not allowed in their "fine" dining section. Had she asked him nicely he would've obliged. But she so blatently told him, "you can't wear your ball cap in here!" Oh well...that lady needs a lesson in how to treat dining patrons. We don't know your restaurant rules. Perhaps it is dining etiquette, but we didn't get the memo.
From my own perspective I found the staff to be very pleasant with regards to such a large party for our table of 20 guests. On my end of the table we ordered the rack of lamb, beef Wellington, escargot, raw oysters, and calamari. I can tell you that each and every dish was executed to near perfection. It is very difficult to do such a thing for 20 guests at the same time. My lamb was ordered medium rare and came out as such. The side vegetables and roasted potatoes were perfection. I rarely eat all my veggies, but in this instance I did. The sauce drizzled upon my plate was the perfect amount of savoury. The beef Wellington was very good. I had a bite of it, though I didn't care much for a baked pastry surrounding steak. It was good nonetheless. The oysters were excellent. (Although, how difficult is it to prepare something uncooked?) The calamari was made so well alongside the tzatziki sauce. Yum!! I think the highlight of my dinner was the escargot. They did the butter sauce so right with the right seasoning. It wasn't salty nor bland. Perfection!!
I seriously cannot wait to go back for dinner again. I really enjoyed everything from the service, the food, and to the ambience!
