I've been to all of Michael Symon's restaurants, so I know the caliber of his cooking. Bar Symon was very good (duck confit sliders were amazing), but it was not great. I think the main problem is that they are so crowded that the front of the house doesn't know how to handle the rush. For example, my Pork Butt would have been amazing- if it had arrived hot- instead of luke warm and fastly approaching cold.
Overall, I highly recommend this place. We spent several hours there on Saturday night- there was a 60 minute wait, but we had drinks on the patio while we waited for the table.
Bottomline: Once the kinks get worked out, this will be awesome. I am planning on going back next weekend so I can try another entree- or maybe just eat a bunch of appetizers for dinner.
