My kids were treating me to a birthday dinner. We were there on 1/13/2024. We had no reservations but were seated quickly. Unfortunately, I don't have the names of anyone. Our server came - she seemed friendly enough at first. I asked her a question about the special fish - She said Salmon and I asked her how was it cooked. She said she would like the 3rd person of our party to come back (my son was using the restroom). So that she would not have to explain the process again. I said we could tell him when he came back and I was pretty sure he would not order the salmon. Anyway food-wise - my son ordered the Venison Osso Buco ( Which was pretty decent). My daughter ordered the Short ribs - which was also not bad. My salmon the so called special was just ok. The beans and spinach had a real tart taste but ok not bad. The salmon itself to me did not appear fresh - the flesh was not firm and kind of had a loose mushy texture. The appetizers - crab cakes also were just ok. The presentation was good with microgreens but it had an aftertaste of whatever oil they had fried it in. The beet salad had 4 pieces of mixed golden and red beets with micro greens. We also ordered a bottle of Malbec. Ok, it was not the most expensive wine but it was $50. Most Malbecs we have had are great. We took a sip of it and it tasted like Barnyard Manure. Literally, if we held our breath and did not exhale after sipping it - then we could swallow. We gave the benefit of the doubt and thought it required breathing. No change! So we called the server and said we did not like the wine. So she called the General Manager (GM). He politely heard our problem - swilled it around expertly took a sip and said the wine was tasting as intended - since it was an organic wine - it was heavy; had the taste of forest floor and had some other descriptions - which to me was just like sheep smell the barnyard smell. He suggested decanting it- which we did and it was as bad. THen they asked if we wanted something else but did not bother to bring the menu back. The server came and told us she loved that wine - so I invited her to drink it after work because we did not want to touch it. We were so disgusted by this time we did not order dessert and even though they knew it was my birthday - they brought nothing out and to add insult to injury they did not take out the charge for the wine even though the entire decanted wine was on the table. It's not like we were consuming it. My kids were paying and they felt bad not to leave any tip. To me, the wine was my tip but they still left something. I can say this much - IT WAS NOT A FINE DINING EXPERIENCE. The server was friendly superficially but she was speaking slowly and showed her annoyance at us. On our way out the GM had the audacity to wish me a happy Birthday. WOW Never going back here. Go only if you like OK food at high prices and bad tasting MAlbecs.
