My husband and I had a fairly weird dinner here last night. Based on the pricing and self description of the establishment we took it to be “fine dining.” The service was strangely amateurish as if people who have never been to a fine dining establishment are trying to imitate what they imagine that might be. The drinks were inconsistent, the wild boar “bacon” was meh, but our dinners were good. Perhaps not as good as one might have hoped for the price.

It was hard to get wait staff to take dirtied silverware and they definitely never heard of crumbing the table. Desserts were sweet but flavorless really, if they made them in house I would be surprised. Nothing exciting there. (I will say the shrimp and scallops were absolutely lovely).

The really strange occurrences took place at another table where the wait staff took someone’s order and then when the kitchen didn’t have what was ordered just picked something else and brought it out without asking the customer if they wanted something different. When the customer was visibly confused as to why this would be so and made it clear they wanted something else, the waiter insisted that the customer try the substitution because it was “so good” and then multiple staff stood there waiting for the customer to eat the food. It was excruciatingly awkward.

The customer insisted on getting something else but even asked “is this what dinner here is going to be like?!” And the staff still didn’t understand what had gone wrong and was completely unapologetic/oblivious that they had made a mis-step.

I gave it three stars out of five because of the food and the free show.
