Libertine was my New Year's Eve destination this year and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed.
They opened over 30 minutes later than their advertised opening time
It took 30 minutes until after we were seated for anyone to talk to us and take a drink over.
45 minutes after seating to be called to the buffet (we were some of the first at that)
Our drinks were not checked on again (the server JUST had to do drinks - the buffet is self serving). We got a refill by going up to the bartender and asking for drinks to which he said he'd tell our server to come take our order. She was back and forth the the bar a few times until she came over to us even then. We ordered coffee and baileys and she brought baileys in a coffee mug and told us to walk across the room (by the bar where she came from) to add the coffee - gee thanks. One thing you notice when the mix in missing in a drink is that there definitely wasn't a full ounce in there but you can't say anything because she's long gone and won't be back for some time. *shrug*
When we went to leave it took a long time - she didn't know what we'd ordered. Then she had mixed up bills with other parties. It was just a service gong show.
The food itself was OK. I'm a vegetarian so I was impressed and grateful to see a quinoa and chickpea salad on the buffet along with a couple other veggie options. Unfortunately there was little to no taste in any of the veggie food and I picked at it a bit and decided not to eat much of it. I felt like going back into the kitchen and instructing the chief on how to make good food that also happens to contain no meat with things like spices or what not.
My finance got to enjoy the prime rib feature on the buffet but it was rare which he doesn't like and thought was very strange for a buffet but he still enjoyed his meal more than me.
Overall it left much to be desired and I'm not keen on a return trip. Maybe it was because it was NYE but it doesn't sound like I had an isolated incident there either.
