Mom and I went for the prix fixe Christmas dinner, which we figured would be foolproof, as they had to make a bunch and would only use tried and true dishes. Well, not so much. Foie gras: oily to the point of being wet, resting on a soggy filo something and served with egg nog (?!) dipping sauce. Octopus salad: too chewy by half. Roasted squab breast: gamy, and somewhat overcooked. \"Chef's Selection\" bread pudding: too much dessert after such a hearty, if uninspired meal. Boring is also the term I would also use for the other courses and sides, although the Kobe Rib Eye was yummy. Obsequious to the point of cavity-inducing would be the phrase I would use to describe the staff, although they were there when needed. In sum, except for the foie gras, nothing was horrible, but nothing was spectacular either. For a \"4 Diamond\" restaurant, the experience was just... meh. For the price: fuhgetaboutit!"^^ .
