Hamlet + Jacks — Restaurant in Palace District

Started of really went but then couple of flaws. We arrived at 2:00 for a late lunch and were greeted warmly and seated. The appetizer of smoked scallop was exceptional. I ordered a glass of sparkling cava but it was poured at the table and the server did not notice it was flat. Indeed it was upon tasting and I advised the server who brought the appetizer the wine needed changing. Nothing happened until our plate was removed by a more senior staff person. The glass was replaced but in total the wait was at least 15 minutes. Our second course took a long time to come which seemed odd as the restaurant only had a few tables. My husband noticed one of our dishes up on the counted under the warming lamps for a long time. Upon receiving our main course my cod was warm but the liquid underneath was barely lukewarm.

Great experience. I can’t say I have had a lot of great dining experiences in Russia but this place blew my mind with the awesome food.

I also had chicken consomme and langoustine at second visit. The consomme was amazing but langoustine dish was too heavy for me cause the langoustine itself and shrimp sauce are already heavy but they are served with mayo.. And I had beef tartare and cod at last visit. You should try beef tartare with mushroom consomme! I think the chef is genious. I was really satisfied with service as well. The staffs are nice and well-educated that they spoke...
