we heard great things about this place, so we had to try it! what better time than for valentine's day & my birthday!
we read there was valet parking. there wasn't. let's just say i wasn't dressed to walk 4 blocks in a wind storm.
the staff was welcoming, & we were seated immediately. we went with the 8 course tasting with paired wines. let me say, EVERYTHING was ridiculously DELICIOUS! best french food i've had in a long time!
HOWEVER, i felt like i was on an assembly line! it seemed as though everyone was having the tasting menu. it was as if all they did was make the tasting menu, so it came quick & fast: every dish perfectly the same. which is what you want, i know, just not that perfect.
i watched as the chef went to each table saying the same rote speech as he poured the nitrogen over the dessert. he didn't seem to be feeling it.
it got pretty loud too, as the people drank more. again, i get that's what they want, but for a romantic, quiet meal for 2, nah. we had to yell to talk to each other.
i'd give it another try, but i'd order off the menu, & maybe go on a week night instead of the weekend. & i'd wear better shoes for walking!
