slipping?. the first time we dined here in 2012 we were blown away, but this time we were disappointed. too bad too since it was for a very special occasion.
i didn't find the server personable, and she didn't seem to want to make any recommends. overall, the food and service was missing the special touches we experienced when we visited in 2012. i get the feeling that your experience here depends on what you order, and it's easy to get it wrong. also, i'd steer clear of specials. if it's not a regular item or if it's something that was just added back on the menu, it may get messed up.
i had to get my meal replaced and they agreed that it wasn't done correctly, probably because it was recently added back on the menu. the replacement was much better, and thechefstopped by quickly to make sure i liked it. however, i spent several minutes trying to force myself to eat the first one brought out before she came to check on us, and had to wait a bit for the second. i think they could have apologized or at least comped my dessert for the trouble. however, i'm glad the server took the initiative to get it replaced for me. i thought it was just poorly cooked, not that they had messed it up from the usual.
i feel like we drove out of our way, and spent a lot to eat food that was just ok. i won't go into the special that my husband had. he never complains, but on the way home, he admitted he didn't really like it. very disappointing considering it was for a special occasion. also, this was our first splurge meal after being on a diet for several weeks, which makes it even more of a downer. yet, i will say that their french bread is killer!
