I can cook better...

...at home - and I'm not a great cook! My friend and I each spent approximately $50 for our meal plus a glass of wine. Neither of us thought the quality of our meal was anywhere near what it should have been for the price (although it was palatable). My friend had the Red Snapper (which was over cooked) and I had the Tandoori Chicken (which was flavorless). As to the chicken, perhaps all the spices were on the skin and since I did not eat the skin there were no spices in my meal. However, the chief should have accounted for a person avoiding the skin and seasoned the meat as well as the skin. The accompanying yogurt garnish/dip was equally flavorless with the strongest flavor being the tomatoes contained therein. Additionally, the music does not fit the general ambiance. The music was appropriate for a dance club, not at a medium/high-end restaurant. However, the bright spots were: the music was the appropriate volume level (not too loud/intrusive) and the service was impeccable.
