| - ***Before I post... I'd like to point out that "somehow" a bunch of one and two star bad reviews from the wine pairing night seem to have disappeared from the page... I wonder why that is...***
My boyfriend and I were given a living social deal from a friend for a date night here. It was a 4 course prix fixe wine pairing dinner. The deal was $30/person for the normally ~$60/person meal. TERRIBLE!
First course was salmon tar tar with croutons. Actually decent, but the size of a silver dollar. Second course was scallops with basil rice. Our table got very small scallops compared to what everyone else got. Ours where a little larger than a gold dollar. My boys were cooked perfect, mine were rubbery and overdone. Rice was good, but again, super small portions. Maybe a half cup of rice.
Third course was chicken. Finally a big plate, right? Wrong. For thin slices of dry chicken over a mediocre mole with Mexican rice. Bland. Still hungry.
Here comes the forth course! Yummy dessert time! Except that the raspberry mouse was unpalatable. I ate one bite.
Did I mention this was a wine pairing? The wines were overall acceptable, but were not well paired with the meals.
And to top it off, we were handed a bill at the end that included not only 18% gratuity, which of course we expected to pay, but over $10 tax on what was supposed to be a prepaid meal. Needless to say, we're unimpressed and will not be returning. We ended up needing to eat when we got home because we were still hungry. Oh, and did I mention that this 4 course dinner took over two and a half hours?!
