2 /5 cantik: Returned for my birthday after a wonderful first experience, but Lazy Bear has changed dramatically - and not for the better.
The charming bear decor and communal tables are gone.
More concerning: we spent $1,700 for two people (including beverage pairing) and received no birthday acknowledgment beyond an initial greeting and card. No candle, no special dessert, nothing. Every other Michelin-starred restaurant Ive celebrated at has made birthdays feel special.
The food was underwhelming, nothing special, portions in each of the dishes are tiny that left us hungry.
The Coal-Roasted Wagyu Ribeye was excellent but just one thin slice. The Liberty Duck which is also one thin slice was too salty.
Dessert ended with 2 bonbons and a single gummy bear.
Compared to my first visit, both the creativity and the number of dishes have declined significantly.
For two Michelin stars and this price point, Saison, Californios, Birdsong, and Commis all offer much better experiences.
We were left very disappointed. Cannot recommend this place, spend your money elsewhere.
