Two twentysomethings treated a friend who is leaving the working world for law school to a nice meal. Habitues (via parents) of the KBG for many years, we reserved a table. Two yummy starters, two bottles of wine and two execrable entrees later ('medium rare' steak burned outside, gray within, INEDIBLE ribs so packed with gristle that they were -a lifetime first-) we thanked the waitress, paid the bill (not including the ribs, thankfully) for a $70 steak and music charge, gave generous tip and asked to see the manager. He said that we were intoxicated (how can you contest that?), that the meat 'always comes from the same supplier,' never apologized for the ruined celebration, and finally kicked us out, saying he did not need patrons like us. At least two longtime customers with expense accounts, lost forever. We don't dine where we have been treated so shamefully.
Pros: Oysters rockefeller, duck breast, ambience, waitresses
Cons: Horrid manager, elevator music, questionable meats
