Pricey

by FrequentDinerOuter

I absolutely hate restaurants that have total valet parking and no self parking and then call the $4 charge a 'service charge'. That's so you can still tip on top of that exhorbitant fee. Valet parking is not needed in a country where everyone is fat...we can all certainly use the exercise. The guy probably drove my car a grand total of 50 feet.

We complained about the salad ($13 with no meat, fish or poultry on it) with warm bacon dressing and the fact that the dressing was congealed. The waiter just said gosh he usually gets good reviews on it and it appeared on our bill despite our disatisfaction with it. The high prices are out of line..you don't even get a vegetable or starch with your $30-$40 plus meal..only the lone fish or meat on your plate. They charged $11 for a side of asparagus with cheese!

I tried to make small talk to the bartender before our dinner and he didn't even reply to my attempt at conversation. He's been there for years, which I commented on, thinking he'd be pleased that I remembered him. No such luck and no reply nor smile.

• Pros: atmosphere is cool and unique
• Cons: pricey, unfriendly staff

Rude and oblivious staff, mediocre food, high prices.

Terrible dining experience. I went to this restaurant for my 2nd year anniversary with my girl friend. The google.maps directions were confusing, and so I called the restaurant as we were within about 5 miles. The hostess told us to travel in the wrong direction, which we finally realized after about 15 minutes. We recalled the restaurant, and another host gave us more incorrect directions that delayed us for another 45 minutes. We finally arrived after calling a 3rd time and talking to the manager. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the valet parking worker was especially rude, and made me park on some side street as he was busy with other guests. He did not even offer his valet service, and snidely inquired whether or not we had "rezzies," which I assume meant reservations. The food was mediocre at best for the exorbitant prices, as the$30+ entrees did not even come with complementary salads. The inattentive staff took away the elegance of the dining experience I had hoped for. Overall, this was one of the worse dining experiences I have had, at a steep price. On the bright side, the building itself had a beautiful interior, but this sight alone was not worth the $100+ bill for two.

• Pros: A beautiful building
• Cons: Everything but the actual physical location failed to impress
