The entire experiene was a wreck. They made a reservation for us in which it was clear that we were bringing a six month old child, and took a $35 per person deposit because it was Friday night( they were not busy at all for the record). They were obviously unpleased by the child being there. The chef/owner was scowling and completely unhappy. This child (my nephew) is the best behaved child I have ever seen, not a peep came out of him. The service went down hill from the second the child arrived. I had alread ordered $100 bottle of wine and a couple of martinis so the staff had to have known it would be a good ticket. Our service was disgraceful. The chef greated every table except for ours I'm assuming because of his hatred for children, but it was a bit dissapointing considering I had just spent $500 dollars in an hour and a half at his establishment. I've dined at some of the finest restaurants in the world and this is not one of them, the food was mediocre at best. The dishes looked much better than they tasted. In my opinion all of the meat was over cooked and the flavors clashed. I was not impressed, the food was not bad, but not to be remembered. Overall our experience was a dissapoinment, I recently bought a condo about a block and a half away and was hoping to find this restaurant to be my go to for culinary excellence, but it turned out to be a one time stop. I will not be going back with clients, friends, anyone. To top it off, the olive oil on the table is for sale, if you use it with your bread you buy the bottle and take the remainder home with you. It's quite laughable. It is hard to understand why the chef had such a supercilious attitude when his restaurant that only seats 40-50 was not even half full on a Friday night. For anyone thinking about going, there are much better places in the city.
Pros: Leaving
Cons: Food
