We ate at the Escadrille on 10/12/07. There were 8 of us for special occasion in ""Gourmet Section"" where wait staff is in suits and they refold your napkin every time you get up to go to the bathroom. We paid $900 with tip! We got 2 doz oysters, 6 french onion soups, a salad, and orders of rck of lamb ,1 order of halibut.,, and 1 grilled swordfish The result:\r
Oysters and soups were good....but it ended there!\r
ALL of rck of lambs were bloody and significantly undercooked ($78 for order for 2)! Not one person enjoyed the lamb and each was hesitant to ""send it back) due to ""horror stories"" of chef anger and result when one sends stuff back. The halibut smelled a bit offensive - certainly NOT fresh! The grilled swordfish was a small pice and VERY thick and hardly cooked! Tough to cook thick slab of swordfish. The person had guts to send it back to butterfly and cook it more - but it was still not very good. We also had one drink each before dinner and 1 glass of wine each. IT WAS A VERY DISSAPOINTING EVENING AND WE ALL FELT ""CHEATED"".\r
Do yourself a favor - stick to non-gourmet area if you dare go...at least you don't pay the 40% more for essentially the same food! We will NEVER return to this place!! \r
hey must have hired hispanic illegal aliens for cooks!!
Pros: good oysters and french onion soup
Cons: most everything else and UNDERCOOKED food!
