Ambience is very well executed. Food was a mix of stellar and poorly prepared. Salmon appetizer was very nice. I have to say that the salad was a perfect mix of tart greens, silky dressing and crispy bacon. My entree was a lamb wellington that was disappointingly soggy with vegetables that were not cooked properly. All the rest of the food was quite good as was the service until the server brought us the entrees........my employee ordered filet and he received short ribs. He made her aware of the mistake when she sat both of the plates down (mine was right), but she left us to check. She came back, took my fork off my plate and took both plates, for what I would assume would go back to the kitchen. NO NO SHE DIDNT. SHE DELIVERED THE TWO PLATES TO TWO OTHER PATRONS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RESTAURANT!!!
I was so stunned i didn't say anything. Still stunned.
We moved to dessert and we ordered an apple that wasn't an apple. A white chocolate shell full of apple dessert that, I was told, was an otherworldly experience. My dessert was smores served outside at the fire.
How cool right?
So I started to go to the fire. No. The waitress started the fire and rather than take the dessert to the fireplace she makes me carry the rather large plate outside. She gives me no napkins and I sit down in a chair and it is full of the days rainwater. How unreasonable of me to expect that she would dry off a seat or two for us at a restaurant where our dinner would be $300. Nope.
It has great potential but it seems operations are a little sloppy. The owner of this establishment would be mortified by ny experience and further mortified to know of my position since they are a AAA 4 Diamond Restaurant.
