Review content:
Stale bread, basic fondue, AMAZINGLY small portions (for two at $94 a smaller plate) and (at least) a good desert (which is bundled with a meal for two so you get it whether you'd choose it or not). With a decent bottle of wine you can get out for $150-$200 and go to Taco Bell to eat the rest of dinner. Yes, If I wanted desert (for dinner), I'd probably go here and just save my money and get a white chocolate fondue. But the wait staff has SUCH A CANNED sales pitch-- they don't' seem to understand that they SOUND LIKE SALES PEOPLE more than servers wanting to help customers get what they want. Basically, there was NOTHING I ""wanted"" so I ordered the $94 plate for two with about $12 worth of seafood and MAYBE 2 oz, of tough steak (NY Strip?-- who'd know after boiling it in this oil/sauce). OK, I believe if I'm going to order a meal and wine for about $180 out the door that there ought to be some MEAT-- yes, more than four shrimp, a few small lobster tails and four pieces of sausage-- I felt like it was ""steak and lobster"" night at Dennys! GIVE ME A NY STRIP STEAK and I'll cut it up and ""deep fry"" it, but don't try and con me with extremely TINY portions of food, ""pitch"" me on your favorite (need to move it) selections or stop and ask me if I need water (four times) and not get it. It wasn't like this place was busy-- it was like this place was ""closing business"" and the wait staff was fast on the pitch, slow on the service and after telling the manager straight to his face-- he brought another 4 Oz. of steak out and then the waitress apologized for it all but: I DO NOT GO OUT TO A NICER RESTAURANT TO BEG FOR FOOD OR ENGAGE IN DRAMA WITH THE WAIT STAFF... I GO TO BE SERVED A FAIR PORTION OF FOOD (not stale bread and excuses). Sorry, but I can't give more than a 1 star here even though the manager tried, but didn't smile once so this is how I think most people would feel and react after dining in some better restaurants over many years and at many better establishments-- sorry, but I can honestly say this hit the 10 year mark for WORST dining experience of the 2000's. I don't care about your wine list or atmosphere when the ""service is nervous"" and the REAL food portions (not bread and basic salad bar veggies but the MAIN course) is inexcusably small and misrepresented.
Pros: WIne variety but still priced above average
Cons: Price and server ""pitch""
