This used to be our 'go-to' restaurant for good food. We went for lunch and dinner. Last Friday night, I left hungry and furious. My husband and I were there to celebrate a new job. The cheese plate was good, the bread? Straight from the refrigerator! Not a deal breaker, but the butter and cheese were room temp and really good. I chose the roasted snapper $23 with apple spaetzle, roasted cauliflower, pine nuts and a golden raisin emulsion. The snapper was about a 4-5 oz piece that was beautifully cooked with crispy skin, placed on a very large platter with 2 swirls of emulsion. I waited for the spaetzle to arrive and then realized there was something beneath the fish. No more than 2 tablespoons of golden raisins, miniature cauliflowerettes and one (1) piece of spaetzle. I asked the waiter if I could pay for another side of spaetzle and he went to the kitchen. Returned saying they only had a limited supply to which I responded, "I know! There is none on my plate." He said, 'sorry' and turned to leave...offering nothing in it's place! My husband chose the mussels which were nice sized, but they had been cooked to the point that the flesh was the size of my pinky fingernail and all the 3 cups of juice in the bottom of the bowl! The prawns in curry sauce were horrible! Underseasoned and mealy around the head. Like when they are not so fresh anymore, $100 down the drain in possibly the worst meal I've had in Richmond. Now I know why the last review was in 2008!
Pros: Great wine
Cons: Food, prices, customer service
