i used to love this restaurant. this was one of my favorite restaurants of all time... until my last visit. the times i went before, every aspect of the meal and restaurant were excellent. this time i got the same thing i have had every time before, the filet mignon bordelaise. the meat was excellent, but my potatoes were absolutely awful. they tasted like the worst instant mashed potatoes you've ever eaten. my sister looked at them and without me even saying anything, asked if they were instant. we asked the staff if they were and they insisted they weren't and offered many reasons that they just might not taste right. there was no way these were fresh potatoes. we were offered a dessert because of the problem with the potatoes and we ordered the creme brulee. it was excellent as it has been every time before, but... we were the second table for the dinner service. after we ordered our creme brulee, two women came in to just order dessert. the waiter told them they were out of creme brulee! thank goodness we had the problem with my potatoes and were offered the dessert remedy when we were, or we would have missed out on that, too!
