| - For a restaurant that supposedly caters to those interested in fine-dining, my family and I were quite disappointed at our dining experience here. We made reservations for dinner at 8:30pm, arrived 10 minutes early, and still found ourselves having to wait almost 40 minutes to be seated (and 10 more minutes once we sat down). The decorations and feel of the restaurant are quite impressive...it is unfortunate the food and service are not up to par. We spent almost 400$ between five of us, and the experience was no better than eating at a nice restaurant for less than 100$. I ordered the Australian grass-fed New York Steak, medium I may add...and it was totally overcooked. Though the center was still pink, the outside was almost even a little burnt. The quality of the meat also was not impressive. I have had 25$ steaks before that were much much better than this one. We also had the octopus plate, which was okay, as well as one of their soups. My sisters had vegetarian options (these were the highlight from what we ordered). For sides, I had one of their potato dishes, which was average, and the grilled broccolini. This broccolini was absolutely amazing and if you do go here you need to get it. In addition, we ordered a ~120$ bottle of wine, which we have bought before for ~20$. To note we saw a bottle of Catena reserve 2010 on the wine list that cost ~310 that we have previously also bought for much less (~25-30$). Not only was everything grossly overpriced, but you'd expect for the money you're paying you'd get fantastic service. Unfortunately this was also not the case. The service was quite slow. Overall, definitely not a place I would ever recommend to anyone, unless $$ and time are not an issue. Maybe if we had been charged 80$ total it may have been worth it.
