Fried oysters, excellent! Sweetbreads, good. Scallops, not too shabby. The rest, all too shabby. Very disappointing. Came here last weekend with my family to celebrate my new job. I was looking forward to it because I've been to Lucques and was very impressed with the food and the service. In addition, I haven't been at an upper scale restaurant in a quite awhile since I've been only semi-employed for the last year and half. Anyway, AOC's food was disappointing. As for the service, I was greeted warmly by the lady who took my reservation and also by the ladies at the door. However, our waitress, although, efficient was on the chilly side. Good thing AOC was not the first restaurant I celebrated in. The first one was Thousand Cranes, a downtown Japanese restaurant located inside The New Otani Hotel. Thousand Cranes is elegant--in everything. I hope Thousand Cranes is the one that bodes well about my future.
Pros: Fried Oysters
Cons: The rest
