Very disappointed. My wife and I dined at La Caille for the past 11 years. I used to frequent La Caille since I came to Utah in 1993. Of course the location and ambiance is wonderful if that s all you desire of an eating experience. However, for a restaurant that prizes itself a French cuisine , there is a lot to be desired. As far as a high class restaurant it has all the ambiance and charm of a French cuisine but not where the food is concerned. And that s what you desire when one is to enjoy an evening of delicious delectable tasty creations that is unique to most critical palates. That is definitely not La Caille. It s a lot of flairs and no substance. Serving substandard meal for price of a truly fancy creatively cheffed kitchen. In particular, their Valentine Day dinner was a scam. I can t understand what they were thinking when serving awaful tasting crude textured poorly prepared badly designed food for the amount they charged. I believe it took everyone by surprise who dined that night for the kind of food that was served. The place as charming as it is could use a better than folding legs, wobbly and small table jammed close together hardly for an elbow room. The chairs very uncomfortable hard straw chairs. There were no flowers on the tables. A small tea candle decorated the white table cloth. The waiters were polite but off course the charming decolte dressed waitresses are far gone. The food arrived with the first of the seven predetermined menu a single pre- seasoned Oister. Shortly after the second course a tuna tartar for me and Foie gras for the wife. That was actually okay. Then came the one little scoop of Sorbe with 4 pomegranate seeds. Next the leafy salad with 3 slices of beats. The salad was less than a 10-15 leaves of some sort of arugula. Then came the main dish. My choice was a nice juicy, perhaps unusually and exceptionally seasoned 7 once of prime rib. But what I actually received in front of me a small pie slice of a red meat for a medium, poorly prepared mostly fat, decorated with 3 large breaded deep fried potato. I harvested 3 pieces of less than one oz. each actual meat. That was all to it. The main course was over. Very disappointed. I felt cheated and taken advantage of. Using their old reputation and French cuisine dining experience and their beautiful garden as a bait to entice unsuspecting customers and rub them. I felt rubbed! The desert didn t change any of that for me and my wife. Mine was 4 pieces of donut holes filled with some sort of chocolate. Fortunately, I had brought my own wine . The corkage fee of $25 was well worth their cheapest Pino Noir of $95-$150. I feel La Caille need to reimburse everyone for their scam of a Valentine dinner . I will also report this incidence to better business bureau. Certainly will not recommend this place to anyone and will not return to La Caille anytime soon.
