This was, unfortunately, the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. It took over 40 minutes for our main dishes to arrive, and when they finally did, they were lukewarm. I ordered the butternut squash risotto from the festive three-course meal, and it was disappointing—an extremely small portion, poorly plated, with only three tiny pieces of squash. When I mentioned this to the waiter, I was told the kitchen was busy, and they brought me a small side of squash as compensation. The wine pairing “deal” was misleading. It cost extra and included just one glass of wine, served with our appetizers instead of being paired with the main course. When I questioned this, the manager comped my glass but not for the other three guests at our table who also ordered the pairing. There was no discount or acknowledgment for the lengthy wait, and the food was mediocre at best. For the high price, the experience was not worth it. You’d be far better off going to Joey’s, where you’ll find better food, service, and value. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $70–80 Food: 1 Service: 1
