Such a disappointing Valentine's weekend dinner! I had been here before and the food and the service was very good but Saturday evening was a complete failure.

We were seated at the bar and told the bartender, Jeffrey, would be over shortly. That was the last we saw of him the entire night (more on this later). He took our drink orders and made our cocktails. We were then informed the bread was coming out shortly, that it was in the oven. When it arrived it was ice cold, I thought that was strange if it just came out of the oven, then I bit into it and both my wife and I looked at each other and realized that this bread was mighty stale, it felt like we were getting the night before's leftovers. Not off to a good start!

When we finished our cocktails, Jeffrey couldn't wait on us because he was making ALL drinks for the entire restaurant, they didn't have a service bartender on Valentine's weekend. There was another girl with glasses on at the bar who came, I assumed to assist, but she talked to a gentlemen who was sitting there by himself, for the entire length of our meal start to finish. After 15 minutes of being ignored by her and looking at our empty glasses in front of us, I finally asked her can we have another drink? Throughout the evening, this continued, could we have extra napkins, could we have clean silverware, could you remove our dishes? She was completely useless!

My wife had the Parsnip bisque to start and it was quite tasty, I had the Roasted Beet, pistachio with Chèvre salad, and that too was quite tasty. When our main meals came, I had the scallops and my wife had the Sweet Potato Gnocchi. I knew the scallops came on top of Calasparra rice and had baby shrimps as part of the meal. When I took a forkful of the rice, I wanted to gag. It literally tasted like someone poured at least a cup of shrimp juice in the rice. I had my wife taste it and she said the same thing, so unappealing on the palate and not good at all. Her Potato gnocchi was equally as bad, they were completely overcooked and then seared in a pan to give them some caramelization make them hard and quite chewy, she even made the comment if she continues to bite down she may break a tooth. We planned on getting dessert but with the bread and main meals being sub par we just wanted to leave.

A VERY BAD evening indeed and enough of a disappointment that I probably won't waste my money coming back here as that meal with tip cost $150.

If you go, do NOT go on a holiday weekend, the staff were completely overwhelmed and the service and the food was below the standard.
