“The chefless diner.........”\r
\r
Having been to countless restaurants with expectations, I did not expect that there was going to be a lack of quality and originaltiy that usually accompanies $30 a plate food. The braised short ribs should have been promoted as "" a brick of fat with a hint of salt "" or simply ""salt infused animal oil "". Textureless and without substance. The ""rib"" was placed atop what looked to be polenta surrounded by chunks of polenta the size of dice which I am sure was just the coagulated fat that had hardened. Just a bit shocking since it was the recommendation......... Shari's would have better........ We also order the seared scallops ( another mistake). The sauce had potential but we both agreed that the amount of sea salt which looked to have crystalized gave no opportunity to know for sure. The rice base was uneventful and could have been equalled by a box of Zateran's. The serving sizes were just fine since we were full from all the water in an effort to reduce the chance of sodium poisoning. Needless to say, but It needs to be said..............a BITTER dissappointment. A $20 corking fee?, I could have lived with that had there been some service that came with it!!!!!!!!!! The owner our """""""""" Server"""""""""" looked pissed that we weren't going to purchase one of her over-priced selections. She offered to re-fill our glasses- How many times? Never. Perhaps we wore her out with all the water refills...... Next time we'll bring a flask . Oh wait there won't be a next time. Ever. In a valley were there is great food every where: Red Hills Provincial is out of place and out classed. \r
