"Although the website listed the opening as 4:30pm, the kitchen did not open until 5pm. The rolls were excellent, as were the pinot noir and the beer. The tenderloin in the Beef Wellington tasted steamed, as if it had not been seared before wrapping in the puffed pastry, resulting in a muddy flavor. The frites were delicious, but the steak was slightly past medium rare. We ordered Sambuca, but were told it wasn 't served at The Wellington because it was served across the street at Il Casale. We ordered Drambuie instead, one up, one on the rocks. When presented with the bill, the Drambuie up was $8.00, while the Drambuie on the rocks was $10.50. We questioned the waiter regarding the $2.50 charge for ice and were informed it was special ice and company policy to charge for it. The rocks charge was eventually removed from the bill. On our way out, I questioned the manager regarding the rocks charge, and was told it should only be assessed for Martinis, not cordials. I 'm not sure what is so special about the ice, but I doubt it is worth $2.50, even in a Martini!! We will not be returning to The Wellington, although our friends have been amused by the special ice."
