An expensive nightmare 9/8/2008

My company partners and spouses went there last Friday 9/5/2008. My wife & I arrived first. Great setting, but...my wife ordered a Cosmopolitan Martini...it arrived in a 20 oz. plastic tumbler with ice ""That's how we make it"" we were told. She hated it. I orderd a ""Long island Tea"" that I swear had tea in it - tasted terrible. My partners/spouses arrived - one partner orderd a Vodka Gimlet. Instead of green it was brown - he send it back. At dinner the entrees were pricey ($28-$38). My wife ordered a medium-well filet, it was medium-rare. Three folks ordered the pepper corn steak, literally no pepper. One other filet burned crispy. After dinner drinks 3 folks ordered Brandy Alexanders and were literally given three glasses with watery, milk-like substance inside (returned). Dessert I ordered chocolate cake with extra vanille ice cream - was served chocolate cake no ice cream! Waitress said nothing as she served it and when I inquired was told that they were out of ice cream (might have been nice to have been told in advance). As we were eating dessert the gray-haired old lady with weird glasses told us that they were closing (this was at 10:15pm on a Friday night). She rushed us out of the place. Worst meal/seervice (especially drinks) that I have ever had in 25+ years of eating in fine restaurants. STAY AWAY - We wasted over $700 for 10 people. The place had literally 3 tables to serve the entire night - I think word is getting out!!! Pros: Ambience - BUT NOT WORTH THE DRIVE/PRICE/POOR QUALITY Cons: TOO MANY TO LIST HERE!!! more
