i am going to be generous with 3 stars since they comped 1 meal and our valet. the meal was "just not good" as we kept telling each other the remainder of the night. wife ordered the fillet with medium doneness. it came out more raw in the center than my sirloin cap i ordered medium rare. rather than replacing, they offered to put it back on the fire. came back and was more cooked but now tasted like burnt meat and was not appetizing at all. wife ended up eating half of my sirloin cap that was medium cooked. lacked flavor for a 35 day dry aged piece of meat. texture was chewy with bits of gristle. overall for a $300 dinner we expected a lot more. for 1/2 the price we could have gone to Jaks and gotten a far superior meal. it had been 20 years since the last time i went to the met and have to say, its going to be at least that along again if ever. for a high end steak in Seattle i would have much rather spent $300 at the butchers table. for an anniversary dinner, this was a huge let down.
