"Mr. Julevic, I had the most disappointing dining experience of my summer in NYC. The quality of the food and service did not match the value by any means. The Philippe Passion cocktail tasted watered-down and contained too much ice from only two sips. Mr. Denis exchanged this drink for the Philipptini, which also contained more than a respectable amount of ice and tasted just average. The Glazed Spare Ribs were chewy, warm not hot, and frankly could have benefited from more time cooking to obtain optimal tenderness. The Scallion Pancakes were just average. The plain Vegetable Fried Rice should not be called a vegetable friend rice having only onions and scallions for vegetables. My local restaurant makes a far better dish with a variety of vegetables for three-quarters less of the price I paid. While I received the Crispy Beef (this too was just average tasting and too much cornstarch was used to make the sauce that seized up becoming tacky like a candy/caramel) along with the Vegetable Fried Rice at the same time, I waited almost fifteen minutes for the Bok Choy to arrive. At this point of my birthday dinner to myself (I celebrated a birthday on at your restaurant, I thought the experience could not have gotten worse until the check arrived with gratuity already included. This was insulting and offensive since Mr. Denis was inattentive and unavailable at key moments during my dining experience. I had to ask a runner to see about the Bok Choy and bring me a hot towel and to-go containers since I was not going to waste this overpriced meal I could no longer eat (my dog ate the leftovers). It bears repeating that the meal cost was not commensurate with the quality of the food and service. I spoke with your Assistant Manager, Christy Huang about this bad meal and she seemed rushed and haggard. Ms. Huang was cordial and wanted to share the feedback I gave her with the kitchen but did little else by way of seeking to secure my future patronage"
