I booked 2 months in advance for my first wedding ...

I booked 2 months in advance for my first wedding anniversary dinner for 19:30. It felt like going to a night club with the security outside. We were not seated until about 20:00. The drinks at the bar cost as much or more than the food.

Once seated in the restaurant, we ordered:

*Pulled goat meat flatbread - probably best dish we had; meat was moist and flavorful

*Angus steak tartare - mediocre, can't really mess this dish up

*Lamb breast - a bit overcooked, only 4 tiny pieces of the meat

*Crispy bbq spiced pig ears - they came in a paper lunch sack (tacky in my opinion); too crunchy and tasted like bbq flavored chips/crisps

*Foie Gras creme brulee - why?!? most disgusting thing ever

*Angus ribeye steak for 2 - quite nice and medium cooked, but had that bbq spice like the pig ears that I didn't care for

*Baked Alaska - it was like a lemon meringue on a biscuit; I didn't care for it, so didn't eat it

*White chocolate mousse - had very bitter strawberries, not great, but not terrible

Overall, the food itself was innovative, pretty, and nicely executed. It didn't taste great, but food is subjective and different for all. My husband was not impressed.

The service was terrible. There were loads of staff, yet we ignored. We would signal a waiter, but he walked away. We also had one shake his head at us, twice. Our experience was quickly ruined by the crappy service. With how long we waited, we easily could have walked away without paying the bill. If we could give a rating for service, I'd give them a zero.

The view was beautiful once it became dark. The elevator/lift ride was a lot of fun.

Duck and Waffle was super hyped and did not live up to it. It was pretentious and had the worst service I've ever experienced. I'm glad I tried it, but have no intentions on going back.
