This used to be one of my favorite restaurants where I would rave about it to my friends. Until last year October when my boyfriend took me out to dinner. We waited a while to order. The foie gras was about 1/2 of the size as last time and surely tasted mediocre. Salad never came. My entree I believe was the king salmon. (I have tried to block it out of my memory because it was so horrible.) It was completely raw in the middle, and toward one side. Trying to stay calm and mentioning it to the waitor in the nicest way, I asked the waitor if that was the intention. He shrugged it off, and did not do anything about it. This is something you do not do at such a heavily recommended place!! He said 'he didn't know'. My boyfriend got the lamb and said it was okay. Bad, coming from a guy who is easy to please. \r

By the end of my meal which i had been looking forward to, I was so devastated with how it had turned out- I didn't even bother getting the chocolate cake i love there. Had it not been for me not wanting to upset my boyfriend then, I would have asked for the manager or made a bigger deal out of it. I just walked out biting my tongue. \r

I chose to give them 3 stars based on performances the other times I have dined here. \r
Also, to give them the benefit of doubt, I will give them another try sometime soon.
Pros: nice historic building. usually competent waitors. and most of the time, good food.
Cons: horrible service the on one occasion.
