Once eating at AOC was a stellar experience, but recently its been sliding.
All the food used to be impeccable. The tomato salad is still perfect, and the black cod is one of the best plates in the whole city. Lately, however weve had some lackluster dishes.
The biggest change was the service. Perhaps our server had just come from a rough audition, but we received some ridiculously uppity attitude. Never before have I had a server actually turn and walk off while I was midst of placing an order. Let alone at a $300 meal.
Want some insight about what items on the menu your server would recommend? Sorry, 'Everything here is good'. Curious about how big a portion is? Get ready to hear the stock speech about 'Small Plates' over and over again.
AOC may become a haunt for chowhounds, not folks looking to have a beautiful meal.
Pros: Food can be superb, Central location., Diverse menu.
Cons: Bitchy Service, Some mediocre plates
