OK, firstly, the best part of the dinner was the French bread and dipping oil. That is never a good sign. When we arrived, there was one table with patrons. Another bad sign. After having dinner here, it is understandable why the place was empty. To start, the French onion soup was atrocious....it had a chicken-broth/olive oil base...really. Rather than a lovely beef broth base, it was an oily, strange taste. Plus the onions were sparse and the cheese was an afterthought. On to the salad....uninspiring. Some blah lettuce, couple of tomato and cucumber slices, a little red onion, all topped by bottled salad dressing. Entrees: wow. This is where the the lack of talent in the kitchen really shone through. Oily veal milanese over under-seasoned pasta. And the $21.99 Delmonico steak should have landed the chef in jail....a third of the steak was fat, and although it was ordered medium rare it was well-done in the middle and rare on the periphery. It also had an unpleasant brown sauce that wasn't mentioned on the menu. The red-potato mashed potatoes were OK, and the vegetables were mushy and much too over-seasoned with oregano. Altogether: Stink, stank, stunk---in any tense, just stay away.
