What's happened here? After reading all the great reviews for this place, Bambie & I had a hit & miss meal with some truly terrible items. Hit - Home made breads are warm, poofy and grainy - Yum! Unfortunately that is about it for the positives. Amuse bouche - three coins of greasy flavorless goose sausage with a tablespoon of balsamic & salt soaked arugula leaves . Salads - Way too much salt , Bambie tasted my majestic salad & told me to send it back, & she never complains about restaurant meals. Her Hobbs bacon salad was okay. Next. $11 goose pate was a slimy 25cent sized coin joke on a mini burnt toast on a bed of fresh corn kernels slathered in too salty & buttery squash puree. My roast chicken had too much black pepper & was overcooked by 8 minutes. Bambie's Halibut was on a bed of cannelini beans and artichokes that were soaked in horribly strong white vinegar. Fish was topped with a stone cold garlic aioli. I thought it smelled like spoiled brie cheese. She picked at it and promptly gave up. Desserts: The renown banana meringue was okay, but nothing special. The 2 slices of apple strudel had a lump of congealed buttery whipped cream. I couldn't decide if that was intentional - amateur clotted cream? Wine selection by the glass are 5 whites and 4 reds. There are about 40 overpriced bottles on the list. Yes the room is elegantly wonderful & we had the place almost all to our selves. 65 seats of which 6 were used all night long. The Word must be out already that this restaurant sucks. The talented chef who opened the place last year made a culinary splash & got great reviews, suddenly exited and left some cooking school drop-out in charge. Pity. less
