We had reservations and of course our table was not ready. A teenager working the front told us to wait in the bar. After 30 minutes, I inquired about our table and got the \"And you are....\" comment. We almost left but the wife wrangled the manager who got us a table sans apologies. \n\nNow for the good stuff:\n3 course American Wagyu tasting menu\nCourse 1 - Caesar salad, grilled shrimp, wagyu tartar\nCourse 2 - NY strip and rib eye with asparagus, mashed potatoes, mushroom roast\nCourse 3 - three deserts\n\nWaaay too much food, and everything was delicious. The beef blows my steaks on the grill away. Our waiter was very nice as well and attentive.\n\nOverall a good experience food wise. The initial service was worse than at some mall restaurant (hey wait , it is in a mall!!)\n\nTsk, Tsk Collichio - you always are lambasting your chefs on TV about perfection."^^ . "0"^^ . . .
