🤢 2/5 - We ate dinner at the Clock Tower for Restaurant Week.

We were not presented with the restaurant week menu when we sat down and had to ask for it. We noticed other tables having to do the same. However, the menus did arrive with a recommendation for the most expensive item on the menu (Beef Wellington, $71). We ordered a dozen oysters and then the three course Restaurant Week special for each of us. The oysters were fresh and tasty. However, they were brought to the table with the appetizers, which was odd. The appetizers (steak tartare and a salad) were OK, but a little small. The entree was a hanger steak with potatoes. A photo is included. It had to be the worst presented plate I've ever had at a NYC restaurant. Worse yet, the (medium rare) steak was over salted and tough. The potatoes were flavorful, but lukewarm. The deserts were just OK. The panna cotta was topped with a citrus salad, a weird flavor combination that did not work. Besides the issue with the menus, the service was problematic. We sat for a long time before being initially greeted and long time periods passed between courses. The numerous waitstaff were all young and inexperienced. In photos, the restaurant looked romantic. In reality, it was very noisy. The tables for two are very narrow and long, forcing you to sit far apart. That, combined with the noise, made it impossible to carry on a conversation at a normal volume. Most of the noise was the loud music from the nearby bar. Overall, the visit was a disappointment. Restaurant week is a great time to try new places. Sadly, we learned that we did not like the Clock Tower and that we will not be back. Also, despite what other reviews claim, the Clock Tower is not a one-Michelin starred restaurant. The list is here: https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/new-york-state/new-york/restaurants/1-star-michelin?sort=distance. Its not even close to the standard set by those establishments.
