The restaurant is beautiful, and the wait staff were attentive and professional. Unfortunately, the food quality on this visit was far below what should be served at this price point. It also was not a particularly crowded night, so this did not feel like a “busy kitchen” issue.
The bread arrived with a tough, rubbery texture and tasted stale.
My son ordered the pasta platter with fettuccine, Alfredo sauce, and Italian sausage. I learned later than the fettuccine was nearly refrigerator cold when it arrived. The sauce was decent but noticeably bland.
I ordered the blackened halibut with risotto. The halibut was severely overcooked—dry, chalky, fibrous, and tough. The blackening spices were the only thing that made it edible. The risotto was dry, poorly seasoned, and crunchy.
My wife ordered the ribeye with gorgonzola and mushrooms, and my son had the macaroni and cheese. Both of those dishes were well prepared, and my wife described her meal as delicious. That contrast is part of the issue: the kitchen was capable of executing some dishes, yet served others with basic, obvious problems (cold pasta, nearly raw risotto, and severely overcooked fish).
I have only been here twice, and my prior visit was not like this. However, on this visit, two entrées failed on fundamental preparation. In total, the meal for four was nearly $300. For that cost, I expect consistent execution across the table. This visit was a major disappointment, and I can’t rate it higher based on what we were served.
