Many highs and lows. Came here last night for an early birthday dinner with my mom while I'm here visiting. First off it's a beautiful spacious restaurant with lots of seating. Love the flower wall paper. Live music was nice as well.
It was 530, so we sat in the lounge area so we could order a few items from the overtime menu (happy hour) that goes from 5-7.
Ordered:
Mule-made with lemon vodka here, really enjoyed it.
Oyster shooters-tiny tiny oysters. Fresh and good, but barely any oyster! not really worth two dollars a piece. Didn't understand how to do the oyster shooter with the Bloody Mary mix on the side..ended up just sipping on the Bloody Mary mix ha. Would be willing to try the oysters on the normal menu if different than these.
Chopped vegetable salad-good, nothing too amazing here.
Hudson Valley Foie Gras-will start off by saying this is my first time trying Foie Gras so did not know what to expect and have nothing to compare it to. Enjoyed the combination of it with the blueberries and bread. Very rich, definitely something to share
Mac n Cheese waffles-the star of this menu. Waiter highly recommended it. It was very delicious, but so rich. The sauce that came with it was cold so we had to send it back to be heated up. Sauce was good but no idea what it was and doesn't say anywhere on the menu
Hanger steak with creamed spinach and French fries- the steak was delicious and well cooked. My mom thought it was too salty but I did not agree. The creamed spinach was cold. Since we had already sent the sauce for the waffle back we didn't bother sending this back as well. I hate when food isn't hot or at least warm. Fries were nothing special
Creme brûlée donuts-YUM. Loved the filling and the burnt sugar taste of the "brûlée" sugar on the outside of the donut. Very good.
Service was super slow as well as some mishaps on cold food and some things just didn't wow for the price. But the steak, dessert and atmosphere were all wins.
