Steak • French • Seafood • American
"Restaurant was fairly empty at 8 pm which was ok because we expected great service. We explained at time of reservation and to staff/waiter on arrival about serious seafood allergies. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairing. The first dish brought to us was covered in cavier and I had to ask it to be removed. The second dish which we did consume (a small gelatin square ..amuse bouche) we were subsequently told it contained seaweed and some cross contamination. The remaing dishes were less than average. Many we tasted and chose not to eat. The wines were great and the saving grace of the meal. Due to the lack of people in the restaurant the numerous long conversations from our server with the couple next to us was unusually distracting. It was difficult to avoid and disruptive to what should have been an intimate dinner. The staff did remove the cost of one of the meals and discounted the wine (we did not complain or request this) due to the mistakes on the allergies. I added the cost of the discounts to the 20% tip as the entire staff typically shares in this and rely on it. Over all the view, ambiance and wine were worth the trip. The experience itself was not worth the cost. The lack of attention to the allergy twice is unforgivable. The kitchen here is an epic fail. Thank God for the wine and an Epipen!"
