by Ardelia Thevenin on This is really a 3.5 start rating. The food was good, but the portions were ridiculously small...especially for the price point. Originally we were going to do the 5 course tasting menu, but scaled down since my in-laws joined us last minute and wanted to treat. The a la carte menu was split up into 3 courses. The server said that ordering 2 would be enough and the mains were true entree size, not a small plate like the first courses. So we all felt safe ordering just an appetizer and main. Unfortunately we left hungry. The most amusing part of the dinner was when the server presented us with a gift from the chef. It was a plate with 4 Asian style soup spoons with a dab of butter and a celery shaving. We couldn't help but laugh and wonder if we were being Punked. The low wide white soup spoon looked completely empty, except for a couple minuscule specks in the middle. The only way to taste it was by removing it with the tip of a finger or the tip of your tongue fully extended. We should have taken this as a clue to what the rest of the meal would be like. I ordered the pumpkin risotto as a starter and the quail for dinner assuming that 3 quail would be filing enough. First course arrived in an oversized bowl with about 1/2 a cup of pureed pumpkin risotto sprinkled with toasted pumpkin seeds. After sharing a small bite with everyone at the table, I was left with a couple for myself. The main arrived in a oversized plate with 3 tiny boneless quail about the size of a half dollar each and 5-6 micro sized cauliflower florets each equivalent in shape to a green pea. $26 for 3 bites of quail was absurd. Perhaps we were charged for someones time in the kitchen using a microscope and surgical tools to remove the tiny bones from the miniature birds. Thankfully there was plenty of bread and butter. My husband ordered the foie gras to start and duck breast as a main. My mother in-law's roast pork dish was the closest to a true entree. We passed on dessert because we were afraid it would be a waste of money at $8 each. Glad we did because we were presented with 4 finger sized complementary boxes that each held 2 little chocolate truffles. They also comped my husbands wine as a birthday gift. Another nice touch was that the top of our menus said Happy Birthday Scott with the date. Great service and food quality, but overpriced for portion sizes. You must order at least 3 courses each to leave somewhat satisfied. It is a good option for a special occasion or spurge and I recommend at least doing 5 course chef tasting. Chef Kevin was not working on this Saturday night.
by Eleonore Riggenbach on Went around 1230-2am on a Saturday night. There weren't many people on the dance floor, but there were people scattered around the lounge on the different floors. It's a HUGE space. Towards the end of the night there were more people on the dance floor but it's nothing like Woody's. I didn't like that people could smoke in there either.
by Liz L. on One of my bands played here the other week. Halfway through the show, I realized that the sound person was also the bartender. Let me repeat that: THE SOUND PERSON AND THE BARTENDER WERE AS ONE. WTF. You could barely hear the vocals, and the stage was so small that the lead singer had to set up on the floor. Two stars because the bartender was cool as hell and gave me a discount on my first drink.
