As a person that appreciates fine dining, I have to say I was disappointed that we had to wait an hour for a table although reservations were made. After ording, we waited FOUR HOURS for the main course to be served, which I'm sure in anyones opinion is unexplainable, unless someone went out to the bay to hand pick the scallops. In the kitchen's failed attempt to appease the customer, we were served a few premeal 'teasers'. One of those teasers was a house made icecream... yes... ice cream prior to the main meal. When it was finally served, the food was excellent, after the kitchen fixed some food preparations errors. One of those errors was a rare New York steak which was ordered rare and served well done. But this revview wasn't written to explain the kitchen's inability to cook one of the easiest pieces of protein. This review was written for the lack of sincere service. The food servers all lack any genuine hospitality. Anyone can refer to another person as 'Sir' but these food servers possessed a sence of arrogance. The atmosphere was more like a druid sacrifice ritual, save the robes. For a resturant that holds themselves in such high regards, I expected much more when spending more than $500.00 for a meal. I feel I've experienced better service at a fast food resturant.
Pros: When it gets there... the food was good.
Cons: Horrific atmosphere with terrible food service.
