My husband and I were SO looking forward to this meal--but we left very disappointed. The food was tasty, and the presentation is certainly over-the-top. But was any of the food life-changing? No. And for $1000+ for a meal, it ought to be.
Regardless, we would have had enjoyed ourselves if the service had been better. Instead, we received flippant and often incomplete explanations of the food from our servers. Throughout the evening, we found ourselves constantly frustrated because we were confused on what food we were receiving as well as how to eat the food we were receiving. To make matters worse, the table next to us was one course behind, and we noticed that they consistently received better explanations of the food than we had.
In sum, this restaurant as currently staffed needs work. Until their staffing improves, save your money and go to 5 dinners at Girl & the Goat for the same price.
