I have had great meals here in the past, but today I felt really let down in general by my meal/experience. I ordered the Ceviche and the Lamb Saddle and a Tomato Juice. Everything just seemed a little slower than I'd expect, esp since the restaurant wasn't overly busy at the late lunch time I went. My ceviche was fancy looking, but just didn't hit the right notes. I am unsure what the fish was, but it lacked the tenderness and texture of a dish I have eaten many many times before in other restaurants. There was another longish wait for my main, the Lamb, which had multiple very tough parts( meat) and the broad beans were chewy as well. Taste was ok, not what I would have expected from a nearly $40 main. My drink sat empty and uncleared for half my meal. I expected better all around and left feeling I had spent quite a lot and it had missed the mark on this occasion.
