We were genuinely excited about the opportunity to eat at Flyte. We had heard great things about it, but left incredibly disappointed and about $200 lighter... The service was terrible. We waited nearly 15 minutes to be acknowledged by the server. He cleared drinks that were not yet empty, didn't ask us if we'd like to start with a cocktail, would disappear for long stretches of time, and was generally rude. The food was pretty blah, especially for the price. The white bean hummus had no flavor, and the entire antipasti concept was under-executed. We had the pork belly appetizer, which was delicious, but only for the first couple of bites. The salads were under-seasoned (I tried the flyte and they were all basically the same in flavor). The main courses were okay. The lamb was excellent, but the presentation was too precious. The scallops were almost underdone and the accompaniments were not very complementary. We have eaten at many fine dining establishments, and would rate this at the very bottom of those experiences. I wish we had gone to Park Cafe or Margot instead. As parents of small children, our opportunities are few and far between to have a leisurely dinner out. What a wasted evening. Not to mention the price. Way too expensive!
Pros: interesting wine list
Cons: poor service, overly expensive, mediocre food, bad location
