First the good news: the two starters (Pasta Carbonara & Mushroom Soup) we had were out of this world! The presentation and taste could not have been better. The middle ground: My friend had the Chicken Cordon Bleu which he found to be average, but again nice presentation. They must have a one piece limit on bread... it was good but wisked away when the entrees came and even though we asked for more, we didn't get it. It was good bread, though. We shared the apple crumb cake and spice ice cream which were nice -- the ice cream was the star. My personal issue: OK, I know I am probably in the minority here, but I like steak cooked medium or medium well (just barely pink). I ordered the Beef Culotte medium which had great presentation, but came out extremely rare. They graciously took it back to the kitchen (and I told them I just wanted it a little pink) where it was apparently put under a warmer and replated. It came out a little grayer, but just as rare. When you put your fork in a piece of meat that is cut less than a 1/4 inch thick and bright red ""juice"" (citysearch won't let me use the blo-d word) pours out, it is not cooked medium or medium rare. I know I am in the minority when it comes to meat temperature, so this may not be a big deal to anyone else. But as a paying customer I think they should take more care. Pros: Gorgeous Presentation Cons: Food not cooked to order more
