"Upon walking in the restaurant we were greeted with an overwhelming fishy smell which kind of worried us because it is not a seafood restaurant. We made a reservation that we showed up for a few minutes early. We were told you can sit in the bar area OR you have to wait till your reservation time to be sat in the dining area. So our service issues was with the hostess not our server. She was wonderful, attentive and very prompt. We ordered the menu for restaurant week and was disappointed (we did not get the miso cod after being hit with the fish smell walking inside). Our appetizer was okay, the French onion soup had a good flavor however, you could tell the “croutons” or pieces of baguette had just been sitting in the soup for a long time. Wet bread in soup is basically all it was. I got the truffle bucatini and it had no flavor what so ever, I didn’t even finish it. My husband got the steak, and I will compliment and say that was probably some of the best asparagus I’ve ever ate. But it’s sad to say that the asparagus was the best part of this dining experience. When it came to the dessert which was bread pudding, it was so doused in alcohol we couldn’t even eat it all. Also there isn’t even a mention of alcohol on the menu description, this should be mentioned for alcohol free patrons. The atmosphere is nice, it’s very small and quiet (inside a hotel, just off the lobby) with comfortable seating. We were eventually sat in a quiet nook but, I was immediately grossed when I looked at the little ledge beside me and it was covered in thick dust and grime. With the bill and tip to be $190 we left less than disappointed and still hungry. Overall, minus the restaurant week menu they offer a smaller menu. Which I feel that every item should be perfected. That was not the case here. We use restaurant week to try new places and needless to say we will not be back, not for that price."
