Wow I am extremely disappointed in our visit over the weekend. I love this place and often enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere but they fell far short in all categories. I haven't been for close to a year so I don't know if this bad experience was a one time thing or there has been a monumental shift in the restaurant. It started bad with the watered down drinks then continued with the stagnant shrimp and tough overcooked steak.
I was embarrassed because I exclaimed the greatness of this place to my guest who was treating as this was a special occasion. After the dinner we talked about the experience and I genuinely felt bad because as you all know it's very expensive and I chose the spot. I will have to think long and hard about returning as the whole experience (and food) left a bad taste in my mouth. I wish I had my phone to show pictures of the food they looked as unappetizing as they tasted.
Whatever has changed here I surely hope they change it back to the way it was because justifying a few hundred dollar meal is very hard to do with this recent memory standing out in my head.
