Terrible. What a dissapointment.
I've been to some of the city's top restos... One, Le select, Lasociete, etc. the kind of places you happily drop $200 because the ambiance, service, wine and most importantly the food make it worth it. If you are a fan of those places STAY AWAY from this place.
First off 2/5 for service. The waiter argued with me on whether I should get fries and was very judgemental. I felt uncomfortable. For a place that's set up like a renovated Hemmingways, you'd expect less attitude.
Ambiance 3/5. Too many lights and for a place that empty, too bright. We were there at 9:30 and the place was LIT up like crazy.
Food: terrible. Awful.
taste1/5. The lobster rolls were bland, the teas was old, tough, chewy and thick. The corn on the rolls was surely from a can. The matchstick fries were like dehydrated hickory sticks spiced wt pepper and still somehow bland. The pasta was like eating plastic. I've made better food at home. The broccoli was not cooked properly and was hard to chew and swallow. The steak was the worse of the night. My partner ordered medium rear and it came back well done. The fries were soggy and the plate had two random grape tomatoes thrown in. Not cooked, not cut , just randome; as if it was lying around in the kitchen and they decided to throw it on the plate.
The presentation gets 0/5. If I were the chef I'd be embarrassed. How he can put his name to this mess is beyond me. The steak was slapped onto soggy unseasoned fried with the "tomato juis" thrown on the plate like it was gravy. Did I me toon the random raw grape tomatoes?
The highlight of the night was the hot sauce they brought me so I could add so e taste to the pasta.
Neither I, nor my partner finished our food.
The waiter could tell we were upset and comped the rolls and offerd complimentary reisling. But the damage was beyond repair. We came home hungry, $150 short and a Saturday night wasted.
Stay away from the tavern.
