Sadly, the $95 per person meal (plus an extra $40 for gratuity and tax) fell short of expectations. I would have valued it at no more than $30. While the portion sizes were generous, the four courses were lackluster. The appetizer featured a chicken salad with flavorless meat, the beef and cauliflower soup was served lukewarm, the main course was an overcooked broccoli steak accompanied by bland steamed vegetables and fries, and the dessert was a strawberry smoothie that didn’t feel like a true dessert. Since the meal was prix fixe, they didn’t even ask how I preferred my steak cooked. I wouldn’t recommend this place. I also have a feeling that the regular chef might not have been on duty that night since it was New Year's Day. I hope they can improve in the future.

I recently had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant. The food was superb, and the service was excellent! read more I recently had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant. The food was superb, and the service was excellent!
