  • I usually do not write reviews but felt compelled to warn others of this travesty of a restaurant. The multi course tasting menu concept was very similar to New York's Tavern on the Green's seven course menu. It is an attempt at fine dining and I can appreciate that. The taste of the food falls short of even your local Mexican dive. The waiter's attempt to sell a story that the chef spent the day out searching the countryside for the freshest organic farm raised ingredients that he could not find on his family farm was obviously contrived to justify the exorbitant cost of the meal. I have see other reviews that rave about the food and atmosphere but I cannot understand how anyone could enjoy the meal we were served. I feel like the child in Anderson's "The Emperor's New Clothes" screaming out "This place really, and I mean really really sucks!!" I cannot even make a suggestion as to how one may salvage the meal I ate there. I have enjoyed fine dining in the past and realize that an open palate is necessary to expand one's gustations. The premise of a farm to table is very exciting and could justify the expense of the meal if the food tasted good. At $150 per couple, one expects the food to be edible. Two of our items off the Taste Menu were so repugnant we did only "taste" them once, promptly spit it out and sent the remainder back. I use the word repugnant reluctantly because the English language does not contain a word the adequately describe the level of vileness of the soup we were served. I assume it was Old Sneaker Slime Off a Theater Floor Soup but I don't remember what they called it. I do have something to applaud The Heirloom restaurant on, several times during the course of the meal my "worst thing I ever put in my mouth" barometer changed to a new level of revolting. Having eaten dry dog food in college on a dare and eaten prison food (as a visitor) this was an incredible accomplishment for a place that you have to pay to eat at.
