Gosh, where to begin. Everything prepared by third parties (cheese, bread, wine, etc.) is indeed good. Things prepared here are OK to terrible. To start, the wait staff literally circled our table clearly eager to get us to move on -- it was so bad as to be noticeable. Additionally, our waiter, after the drink stage (BTW, no bar -- ugh), never asked us what we wanted, we had to proactively solicit him to get food. Then the food. The Kobe flank steak tastes like a well cooked flank steak -- in other words good, as it should for the price, but nothing to write home over and certainly not melting in anyone's mouth. My veal scallopine on gnocci was a tiny portion of two soggy, oily, rubbery thin pieces of breaded fried veal, deluged with garlic as to be inedible on what was clearly store bought gnocci with some tomato paste for $26. Considering the price and how easy it is to make gnocci, and the rest of this dish, it was inexcusable. When I mentioned this to the waiter, he didn't say a word -- no apology, no offer of something else, nothing. He refused to list the deserts when asked and we were instructed to get up and go look inside. We finished off with white chocolate "mousse" which was soup in a white chocolate bowl. Again, I make mousse, it ain't tough. This was my birthday and honestly the experience could not have been worse. I fed the entre to my dogs when I got home.
