My boyfriend and I went here for a romantic dinner. It was a total disappointment from start to finish. The valet service was nice, however. We ordered our dinner and literally five minutes later were being served our appetizers. Clearly these were NOT freshly made. I had the foie gras with duck. When the appetizer came out, it looked like a circus on the plate - some sort of enormous umbrella. The bottom of the umbrella consisted of a soggy monstrosity of bread underneath with duck shreds on top. Above the duck shreds was a huge piece of foie gras. It was totally impossible to eat as designed, and the duck tasted like pot-roast. The bread was both nasty and useless. I usually love foie gras, but it tasted like bone marrow. Though the portion size was huge. My boyfriend got the tenderloin carpaccio, which was quite good. Then we both had the tenderloin entree. Each tenderloin was a whopping $44. For $44 I would expect a great piece of beef. Instead I got a chunk of beef that was too charred on the outside, accompanied by an overpowering sauce, bland asparagus, okay whipped horseradish potatoes, and a totally hideous charred piece of garlic bread, which made no sense in light of the rest of the dish. This too came to us rather quickly, indicating that it was not made fresh to order. We decided to brave the dessert. I had the warm chocolate torte. It was bearable, but clearly had been warmed up in the microwave. My boyfriend had the creme brulee, which came out cold. At the end of the night, we spent a whopping $290, for a train wreck on a plate. Not impressed at all. Will never again go back.
Pros: Nice looking restaurant, good valet service
Cons: Horrible food, annoying service
