2 /5 Donald Jones: TL;DR: Too expensive for what you get, inattentive service, dim unwelcoming atmosphere, and parking validation locked behind a paid signup. One good dessert doesn’t save it.
We came here to celebrate a birthday, ordered drinks, an appetizer, main courses, and desserts for two. The appetizer came out almost right away, but then we waited about 30 minutes for our mains, even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy.
The food was okay, but not nearly good enough for the price. Service felt inattentive most of the night. It was hard to flag anyone down, whether it be for drinks or any other reason. The atmosphere overall tried to be upscale but the entire restaurant was dim and dark while the staff were also inattentive which lent it to feel more cold and uninviting, which didn’t help the experience.
Our total ended up being $162 for two people. Parking validation isn’t included unless you sign up for their “club,” which is a paid membership. Paying extra just to get parking validated after already spending that much on dinner felt unnecessary and honestly kind of frustrating.
If you’re in the area, I’d instead recommend P.F. Changs It’s quite literally across the pavement. the food is better, the staff are friendlier, the atmosphere is more welcoming, and parking validation comes free of extortion.
Overall, this felt like a mediocre fine-dining experience with a premium price tag. However the crème brûlée was genuinely great and probably the best part of the meal, but it wasn’t enough to make me want to come back.
