I am writing this review in the hopes that management will pay attention and move to correct whatever is going on.



I ordered a petite filet. What arrived was neither petite, nor a filet. The two chunks of dry, tough beef looked more like they had been carved off a tri-tip roast. I've had flank steak more tender. It was served on a bed of watery mashed potatoes and overly salted brussel sprouts roasted beyond recognition. (This idea of serving a main course on a bed of anything is a fashion that I hope will end soon. I am perfectly capable of mushing everything on my plate together if I so choose--not having a choice is a bit offensive.)

This is the second time I've had a bad experience at the Balboa in the last month, or so. Something is wrong--I hope it can be corrected. I really like this place. Always good service, good drinks and until now, good (sometimes great) food.
