not a fan. i have debated even writing this review, because i don't have many good things to say. but reviews aren't all supposed to be sunshine and rainbows.....so here goes.
this was some of the worst food that i have ever had in my life. ever. my food was so salty that i couldn't even taste anything but the salt. and greasy. and really....should risotto be greasy? no, it shouldn't. greasy and salty....that's the only thing i remember about that dish.
my shrimp appetizer was expensive and there were three shrimp. granted, they were large shrimp, but unless they were stuffed with 18 karat gold, the price of the dish was way too expensive for three shrimp. and...they're weren't even good. remember, everything i ordered was coated with salt.
our waiter was ridiculously snooty - and yes, i understand that this is a fine dining establishment and it may be frequented by some snooty individuals, but that attitude should not be carried over into the wait staff.
on this particular occasion, i was at a table with about 10 people - and 9 out of the 10 had a bad experience - some with the same saltiness issues i was having, others had problems getting the correct food or getting a refill on beverages. all in all, a horrible experience for all.
i briefly touched on the over-priced appetizer, but honestly, the whole menu is over priced. i say this because the food just isn't good. i don't mind paying a pretty penny for a meal, but it has to be good and theservicehas to match the food quality and price. unfortunately, this was not the case at this restaurant.
i'm not saying that i'll never go here again, but it won't be without a gift certificate or a friend that says, "come on....i'm paying." because i certainly won't spend my own money here again.
