"What a let down. What happened to the NF Table? Once upon a time, under previous owners, this place was a delight. We were so looking forward to our visit, but under the new ownership and chef it was very close to a total disappointment. First, seatedoutside, it was a penned in, noisy affair. We had to shout to hear each other over the large, drunken, rowdy, kids screaming andrunning wild birthday party of 20 people. Eight of them were unsupervised at a kids ' table. The adults were shouting drunk at aseparate table. Then, I was struck in the head by an oozing, red juicy buckeye that fell from the tree over our table. Weordered drinks and champagne to start, described by the sommelier as having hints of brioche and acetic minerals . (What??)Then we had a first course. The tuna tartare was good, clean and fresh, but the North Fork egg on a mushroom risotto wasterrible burned to ash, dried out, hard cooked fried egg with no taste or hint of mushrooms. The risotto was a complete burneddisaster the worst thing I 've EVER eaten no exageration. We sent it back only to hear back from the waitress that the chefand she agreed it wasn 't right but the owner likes it that way. I substituted the salad. With 4 items on the first coursemenu, one would think they could cook them properly. Then we had the second course, which was tasty but very fatty and NOvegetables. The pork (1 entree) and duck (2 entrees) were tasty but much of them was just fat. As for dessert, the brokenchocolate cake was great. The chocolate vanilla ice cream was terrific; the berry sorbet was tasty but laced with so manyseeds I 'm still picking them out of my teeth despite having brushed and flossed thoroughly. Sigh."
