Salinas - New York

Gracious! from the moment we entered, we were picked into a beautiful place and finally a delicious meal.

We were literally sitting the worst table. what they called a bar table that was literally under the bare seats of someone.

The manager amanda tried to cancel my reservation after my dinner so that I would not be able to leave an assessment, but unfortunately for them I will anyway. I have a table on 2nd May for an evening meal on 20th I called a garden table for dinner with my chef. I was told that there was availability and that they should be able to accommodate. the day of the reservation I called to confirm that the garden table was available. I explained the occasion and that I had made the reservation earlier. I'm moving out of town, and that was that I brought my boss out to thank her for my movement. amanda said they couldn't guarantee anything. I made it clear that I had booked salinas because I could have a table in the garden, otherwise I would have found an alternative venue. I then came to the restaurant early to make one more please for a garden table. amanda showed me two tables in the garden (some were at the end of their meal) and one at the window. I said we could wait and see what my boss prefers when she arrived. Almost forward for about 15 minutes later, and amanda rescinated the table offer in the garden because 'you otherwise booked it last minute' and continued to offer us two more tables. manager should not exercise personal preferences and use their influence on these unprofessional wise. there was no desire to be helpful or actuativ, and in it did quite the opposite. there is no way a professional device would prioritize a 'last minute' booking via my request of 2.5 weeks earlier. she just didn't want to give me the table, and I have no idea why I've never met her before and had heard openly about my sister's great things about this place. amanda has ruined my experience and eating was in order, but not exceptional, so between both elements, be assured, I would never want to go back.

The otopus and steak are great. the steak surface is very deep, but deliciously roasted. the aubergine is delicious. the environment is also beautiful and romantic. the service is a great surprise. they even gave us two champagnes for our jubilee!

What a lovely evening service was great and the food delicious. So nice to be out again.
