Aesthetic food presentation in an upscale restaurant, but dismal service and underwhelming flavors made the overall experience a disappointment. This restaurant gives off a posh, high-end vibe, but the experience quickly went downhill. Upon arrival, we were greeted by someone who seemed to be the manager, whose rude attitude set the tone for the evening. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty on a quiet work night, we were asked if we had a reservation and then seated by the door, away from other diners.
The menu offered a variety of options, but nothing stood out, especially given the hefty price tags. We ordered a spicy vodka pasta and a beet salad. While the salad had impressive presentation and a reasonable price at $200, the goat cheese smeared on the side felt odd. The pasta, however, was disappointing—a small portion for nearly $300, with nothing remarkable about the taste.
Getting the bill was an unnecessarily long ordeal, and it was delivered with a noticeable attitude from the staff. The biggest shock came after we paid, when the hostess approached us to ask for a five-star review on Google, specifically mentioning her and the server. This unprofessional request felt forced and insincere, making us question the legitimacy of the restaurant’s glowing reviews.
Overall, while the restaurant’s ambiance and food presentation are “posh”, the mediocre flavors, overpriced dishes, poor service, and unprofessional behavior make it a place I wouldn’t return to. The entire experience felt off and the audacity to request a glowing review left a particularly sour taste.
