Dinner with the fam!
First off, the decor was probably my favorite part! Very modern/contemporary, even right down to the hostess outfit. The bar area has quiet an expansive loungey area that spills into the dining room. The actual dining area is intimate and a little bunched together. I just felt that the food was okay and not really worth the price paid. Maybe I hyped it up too much so that I expected a Robuchon-esq dinner. *shrugs*
My family of 17 people ended up splitting the tab and it came out to something like $90/pp. This would be a dinner consisting of one entree, lots of antipasta to share, a couple bottles of wine.
Quick-E tips:
-The photo booth is right by the escalators. Right when you get off, turn left and you'll see a little door. I totally missed it!
-It's dimly lit AKA - kind of dark. Sets the mood if you're out on a date I guess!
-If you plan to order alcoholic bevy with dinner, expect to spend dough people!
-Antipasti portions are super small. More like teasers. One dish is suited for sharing with maybe a dinner party of 4. I personally enjoyed the complimentary bread plate with spreads the most....
-Pappardelle was the best bang for your buck IMO. Flavorful pork ragot! My husband ordered and I was so envious.
-Fregolotto portion was very small and I also felt the sauce wasn't salted. Even with the starters and bread, I finished my main dish and still felt a tinge of hunger. This is coming from a pregnant person who would normally get full off a small portion! To those that don't know exactly what it is, the pasta kind of looks like large pearl like cous cous.
-If you're one of those Rib Eye fanatics, you might love or hate Giada's ribeye. It's a Tomohawk. A couple people ordered it and said that there was more fat than meat. I tasted a well done piece and thought it was nothing special.
-Roasted Fennel side was really disappointing. I took a couple small bites and gave the rest to my husband. It did nothing for me taste wise because it felt very plain.
-Whole Roasted Chicken looked delicious, but I didn't steal a piece. DARN! Wanted to see how it stacked up to Thomas Keller's version.
