Over rated and a disappointment 3/29/2008

We went last night, a saturday night. I was excited that my boyfriend wanted to go. We drove 45 minutes to get there. We were greeted by a really sweet hostess, bt it was all down hill from there. My $10 bananas foster martini was one of the worst drinks I had tasted. It was supposed to be rimmed with brown sugar, mine was rimmed with cinnamon and a hefty price of $10. We ordered two appetizers. Both were presented beautifully and the grilled portabella was good. The crab dumplings were served with cold unseasoned lump crab meat. I was disappointed at the limited selections for entrees and we were not offered any other specials to choose from. Dinner was a huge disappointment. I had the stuffed chicken. It was supposed to be stuffed with smoked mozzarella, shitake mushrooms,and sundried tomatoes. There was no cheese and stuffed meant placed under the layer of skin. It was an overwhelmingly strong rosemary flavor, but to their credit the chicken was moist. My boyfriend had the lobster ravioli which is topped with shrimp. The dish was very fishy tasting and not worth eating. We chose two desserts;bananas foster and bread pudding. I am not sure what to expect with bread pudding but it tasted bland.(maybe that's the way it should taste). The other dessert was bananas foster. The presentation of the flambe was very impressive. The waitress poured the flaming syrup over the ice cream. The couple next to us wanted to help us with our dessert. We should have let them eat it. The alcohol in the bananas foster is supposed to burn off. They might as well have just served a glass of rum over ice cream. We were charged for a side salad that was never served and every other table received bread and butter but us. Our bill for one martini,two appetizers,two entrees, and two desserts was $130. A little steep for the quality and service or lack there of. I wouldn't go back. I think it was over rated. more
