Mediocrity at best! We were welcomed by a poorly dressed couple and after 10 minutes waiting at a half full restaurant, got seated next to a service area where a non-stop parade of waiters bumped into our table. The room was stuffed with tables so close together the wait-staff could not easily maneuver the incessant number of chairs they carried over our heads to other tables. Blinding street lights and deafening noise from patrons added to the nauseating ambiance that preceded our $200 meal. We particularly noted the 2% feed added to the bill to offset the new minimum wage which will not start in another 6 months! Then the menu touted their garden vegies, which never made it to our table, instead we were fed bagged green. The chef boiled my Idaho trout in bad oil atop lentils. I eagerly looked for the promised leak fondue, but alas it was nowhere to be found. Food should taste food and leave one feeling good. I'm sorry to say the chef failed at both of these. We could have tolerated the culinary attempt at being an upscale restaurant, but the horrible staff, seating and noise bring this one down to a 2 star or less. Do not waste your time here and don't believe it brings anything from their farm to the table.
