I was excited to eat here since it was under new ownership and the chef had a great resume. Well let's just say that $597 later I was laughing. This was one of the worst meals I have ever had. Especially for a restaurant in the Michelin guide.First off we ordered 2 cocktails which were excellent. The Cara Cara Collins and I do not remember the second.We also ordered a bottle of wine .Sea Smoke Ten Pinot Noir. I asked the server to let it breathe. I was not given a taste to see if I liked it or not. So once the server left. I poured a taste. It was beautiful. The best part of the meal .My girlfriend ordered the Onion Soup GratineeIt was okay at best. I ordered the risotto. Let's just say that there was no flavor, very flat. I asked our server for some salt. I tried to salt it for more flavor but nothing. I think they used dishwater instead of stock. So just to make it quick I ordered Onion Soup Gratinee.The wine we ordered made it that much betterThe server did not pour any wine. I had to myself. Also he kept calling me BOSS. At a restaurant of this caliber I would not expect that. The service needs some serious work. Our entrees finally arrived after about 25 minutes between courses.We had the Sea Scallops and replaced the cous cous with the risotto(before knowing how inedible it was) my girlfriend is gluten free.The scallops came out with the beards attached which should be the first thing to be cleaned off the scallop( not sure how the chef let that go out of the kitchen like that) the dish was okay at best. I ordered the C.A.B 14 oz NY Strip medium rare, it came out medium. The pressed Gruyère potato was flavorless and under cooked the potatoes still almost raw. The garlic spinach was flavorless as well. The sauce Bordelaise was not even close to one it was more like a generic Demi-glacé.The manager walked by and asked how everything was. We had just received our entrees . I said okay but the beards were attached to the scallops. I had them on a b&b. He rushed off with them and said oh that's a rookie move or something to that effect.I didn't want to bother him because I could see how busy he was and I didn't want to waste his. I figured I would call them on Wednesday to have a talk with him. ( I called Wednesday and left a message and still not have had a response. Today is Friday. He could have avoided this 1 star review by returning my call)We had dessert. 2 glasses of tawny 20 yr old port which were yummy. Also ordered the flourless chocolate cake and the bread pudding. They were good.I would say stay away from this place. Not much has changed except for the prices.
