3/5 June S. 2 years ago on Google
We
went
here
to
celebrate
my
niece's
birthday.
She
had
been
here
before.
It
was
my
first
time
dining
here
and
most
likely
the
last.
When
I
called
to
make
the
reservation,
the
woman
who
answered
the
phone
was
very
quick
to
stress
that
there
was
a
strictly
enforced
dress
code
because
it
is
a
fine
dining
establishment.
I
didn't
have
a
problem
with
that
and
thanked
her
for
help
with
the
reservation.
We
arrived
a
few
minutes
late
but
called
to
let
them
know
ahead
of
time.
When
we
got
there,
there
was
no
parking
and
there
was
a
long
line
for
valet.
It
was
also
11
degrees
outside.
When
we
finally
got
inside
the
restaurant,
the
hostesses
greeted
us
but
one
in
particular
seemed
annoyed,
which
I
just
shrugged
off
because
who
knows
what
her
day
was
like.
We
were
seated
at
a
table
in
between
two
other
tables,
towards
the
very
front
of
the
restaurant
which
also
is
in
front
of
the
bar.
To
our
left
was
a
table
of
women
that
were
completely
inebriated.
To
our
right
were
four
girls
in
jeans
dancing
around.
Their
mother
who
was
on
a video
call
with
her
boyfriend
completely
oblivious
to
everything
going
on.
I
was
flabbergasted
and
could
not
believe
this
was
a
fine
dining
establishment.
If
the
entrees
were
not
$50
a
pop,
I
might
have
been
more
tolerant
but
alas,
this
was
not
your
local
Applebees.
So,
I
decided
to
give
it
a
shot
and
ask
the
hostess
if
they
could
move
us.
I
asked
nicely
and
she
said
that
because
we
were
not
on
time,
she
would
not.
So,
I
said
to
her,
are
we
being
punished
for
something
we
had
no
control
of??
We
did
call
as
soon
as
we
knew
we
would
not
be
on
time.
She
was
firm.
The
answer
was
no.
I
decided
that
this
was
not
going
to
work
and
we
needed
to
leave. Just
as
I
returned
to
my table,
the
manager
walked
by
and
asked
me
if
everything
was
ok.
I
told
her
what
happened
and
she
told
me
she
would
move
us.
A
few
minutes
later,
we
were
moved
to
the
front
of
the
restaurant.
As
I
walked
through,
I
noticed
that
many
people
were
dressed
in
tee
shirts
and
jeans.
So,
why
exactly
did
they
bust
my
chops
about
enforcing
their
dress
code?
Did
the
other
patrons
get
the
same
warning?
Who
knows!
So,
we
ordered
dinner.
They
brought
out
a
bread
basket
that
consisted
of
3
whopping
pieces
of
brown
bread
with
raisins.
It
was
actually
fairly
good.
There
was
also
a
large
matzo
type
cracker
in
the
basket
which
no
one
ate.
They
didn't
bring
out
anymore
because
they
said
they
ran
out
even
though
we
could
see
them
bringing
more
to
other
tables.
I
ordered
the
clam
chowder.
It
was
ok
but
had
a
lot
of
potatoes
and
no
sign
of
clams.
It
wasn't
bad
but
nothing
worth
ordering
again.
For
the
main
entree,
we
all
ordered
filet
mignon.
It
was
not
bad
but
not
the
best
I
have
had.
It
was
mediocre,
at
best.
Part
of
it
was
well
seasoned
by
the
other
half
of
it
for
some
reason
had
a
gamey
taste.
We
also
ordered
for
the
table,
creamed
spinach
and
mashed
potatoes.
The
creamed
spinach
had
a
lot
of
garlic
in
it.
I
didn't
mind
but
if
you
don't
process
garlic
well,
this
is
not
a
good
choice.
The
mashed
potatoes
were
over
mixed
to
the
point
where
they
were
glutonous.
I
didn't
care
for
them
at
all.
For
dessert,
the
waiter
brought
out
two
mini
cakes,
one
was
the
flourless
torte
and
the
other
a
mini
creme
brulee
with
the
words
happy
birthday
spelled
out
in
chocolate.
They
also
left
a
card
at
the
table
when
we
got
the
with
a
cute
birthday
wish
that
was
hand
signed.
I
thought
that
was
nice.
Bottom
line,
for
the
prices
they
charge,
it
was
not
worth
it.
This
place
is
basically
an
overpriced
Applebees.
I
will
not
come
here
again.
I
also
didn't
appreciate
the
snotty
hostess's
attitude.
I
did
appreciate
the
excellent
waiter
we
had
who
was
tipped
handsomely.
The
manager
was
a
doll,
too.
She
really
deserves
a
raise!
I
gave
this
place
a
3
star
review
because
of
the
disappointment
in
service
from
the
snotty
hostess,
the
spiel
about
the
dress
code
which
evidently
is
not
adhered
to
and
lastly
because
they
are
overpriced
for
mediocre
food.
