We visited this restaurant for our 14th wedding anniversary. Fortunately the beauty of my lovely wife brightened up the atmosphere, and the scent of her perfume tantalized my nostrils and moistened my palate. I hungered for her! The dull roar of the other conversations could not distract my attention from her eyes, and the frowning, non-attentive waitress could not depress my quickly escalating mood. (If you know what I mean.)

But enough of that.

First of all, when you tell the waitress you don't like the crab-cake appetizer (it tasted "fishy"), wouldn't you expect her to at least offer something more satisfactory? Send the manager to check on us? Something?

Second, why must I pay top dollar for a meal, and still be expected to assemble it myself? I don't want to order my sides a-la-carte. I'm paying them to plan my evening pleasure. They're supposed to match my sauces with my spices, my tastes with my textures, my vichyssoise with my victuals.

Third, I can't even agree with my beloved on a bottle of wine, but they expect us to share a single, gi-normous plate of potatoes? Screw the potatoes then. I'll wait for the port for my carbs.

But all that aside, the food was just ok. I mean, really nothing to write home about. I had the filet oscar and my wife had the filet. Preparation was perfect to order, but taste was really rather bland. I expected better for the equivalent of an average American's day's labor. My wife passed on dessert because we just didn't want to pay $12 for another average dish. AND MY WIFE NEVER PASSES ON DESSERT!

Because of the average dining experience and the astronomical price I'm going to give this one:

Overall Rating: Poor

Taste: good, Presentation: poor, Service: acceptable, Atmosphere: acceptable.

Price: $93.07 for two, NO DESSERT, one Mohito that was rather tasty.
