expensive; lovely decor, especially during the holidays; service is just ok, too many waiters per 1 table; food is in need of major improvement, a new updated chef would do. Was special occasion, that they were made aware of, prior to our arrival; because we were too full we did not order dessert and still nothing was done for our special occasion. Have gotten better service/food elsewhere. Will not return, until new chef.
Service is lackluster and sloppy. Waiter was poorly trained and I guess he was trying to speak English, but who could tell? Food was uninspired and horribly prepared (gritty clams-Yuk!) Drinks, bread and butter were not refilled. Prices are exceptionally high. You can pay far far less and get far far far more for your money. Sadly, our bad experience tarnished a family get-together. Please, don't waste your time or your $$$$$.
We went on a Saturday evening. At the table next to us was a son taking his elderly mother to dinner; behind us was an elderly gentleman who was interviewing a lady for a job. The feel is of a private club that has seen better times. We had the tasting menu with matched wines - food varied from fair to excellent, but the wines were terribly mismatched. Overall, a disappointing evening from a place that does not live up to its rep..
Great decor but a little disappointed with the food. Ate a three course meal and was not really impressed by anything. Bacon wrapped scallops where probably the best item we had. Also had the a cold mango soup, rabbit and truffle pasta, and pork loin (two people), all of which were just "OK." Deserts were good but considering we spent over $200, you hope to be blown away by at least one main course. As you would expect, service was decent.
Went to the Cabaret. Beware they add 21% tip (odd number isn't it) plus tax, so the $13 drink cost nearly $17. Manhattan prices for cruise ship entertainment. Stay away.
