Disappointing for the price. The best part was the wine recommended by the server and even that was on the pricier side. Also want to give some slack since it was holiday season (Dec-Jan) so many places are not open and they might be busier than usual.
We went in intending to order a la carte but got pretty heavily pushed to order the tasting menu. The waiter pitched it as a good way to sample everything, but it was a poor sample. Everything was okay at best and nothing stood out. I've had much better meals for much cheaper and without the fine dining posturing. Not sure if a la carte would have been better, but I wondered if the reason they pushed so hard for the tasting menu was because nothing else was prepared.
The service was also rushed, with dishes collected as soon as they looked done. One dish wasn't even complete and we had to insist a few times to keep it on the table. Perhaps they were busy, but definitely dampened the mood since we were rushing to finish dishes.
Otherwise the atmosphere was pleasant and the decor was nice. Would recommend elsewhere, but if there's no other option, the food is alright (just expensive given the quality).
