Well, the service was wonderful but the bread and entress left much to be desired. We have going to Slocum House for years and have always LOVED the food...until last night. The bread was unbelievably stale-tasted several days old. The goat cheese and beet salad had a terribly tart and overpowering champagne vinagrette dressing and was served on a plate not sized properly for the plate beneath it, so it kept clanging against it every time we would take a bite.One of my friends and I each had the hanger steak frite. The meat was not cooked as ordered. I ordered medium-one piece was medium rare and the other was extremely well. The crispy shoestring potatoes were mediocre at best. We asked for mashed potatoes, but they could not serve them to us because they only had enough for the entrees that were meant to be served with them. Another friend had the New York-said it was just ok and the truffled mac and cheese was nothing special. The white chocolate creme brulee and banana cheesecake were just average-nothing special. As stated previously though, the service was amazing. We couldn't understand what was going on in the kithchen since we have always LOVED the food.The hostess told us they have a new chef in the kitchen, but we loved the last chef. Where is he now? Let's hope our next meal at Slocum House is a bit more of a success.
