For those who don't remember me I was the guy who wanted to go to the bistro upstairs but was told no kids menu and that the place.. well...didn't cater to kids...
We tried Chefs instead... Loud, Crowded.
Tuna was served medium to medium well, I'm used to tuna (advertised as Rare) to be somewhat like the asian type seared outside, red and cool in the center almost like a sushi.
The tuna was good, it tasted like it was cooked or held in a broth... again not the presentation I'd expected.
Onion soup was great, Bisque was good also.
Sevice was good and attentive but I got a glass of wine (chard) with my soup and a different chard (pouilly Fussie) with the tuna.
They brought a sweet resling or dessert wine by mistake, I told the waiter that I didn't think this was Poully and he said ..Yes it is. (While not a steward I was sure it wasn't because DW had a glass with her bisque and I had a taste to compare the two chards, this was very sweet)..... I said no ... it's not try it if you want.
Instead of just saying OK and bringing the right one he asked if I like sweet or dry.. I said I just want the pouilly ..
(Now I would have just gone and got the bottle and poured it in front of me to "make the stupid american happy" )
he again asked if I liked the first glass hinting that he is going to bring what I like not what I ordered. ..... He brought back what I believe was the correct glass and life went on.
We both got the cream brulee but my wife's wasn't hit with the torch. It was runny with on top. Mine was fine.
Guess they missed one in the assembly line.
DW had the Steak, potato gratin and green beans. While good, nothing to brag about (according to her)
2 adults 2 kids, $220.00 drinks , apps, entrees, desserts, coffee and cordials.
Never again.
Narcoosee's was the stand out even (never thought I'd say this) over the California grill.
