We arrived for our 5:30 reservation to a mostly empty restaurant. We opted to sit at the bar to watch the end of a football game. It was great to see TV's in the bar area, however, they were behind a smoked glass panel so you really couldn't see much... But we weren't there for a TV we were there to have amazing food! Well, City Hall came close...
The bar is gorgeous, it would fit in at any world class establishment, however the chairs were a little small and the seat was perched slightly forward. With seat covering being a slick leather like material, it became a little hard to stay in the seat.
We ordered 6 oysters and the steak tartare to start. The Oysters were amazing 10/10, however the bread that came with the tartare was a dry soft sourdough that sucked all the flavor out of your mouth. I think it would be much better if it was toasted, or oiled and grilled, It really needed more texture. The tartare itself, was good.
Next we asked some questions about the menu and got several answers for the same question. What's the fish of the day, "Alaskan Seabass" was one answer, then we got Chilean Seabass.. How is it cooked? "To perfection" our bartender tells us, we giggled thinking it was a joke, it was not, "that's how they describe it to us" Next bartender says, its grilled. When it came out? It was pan seared. But My wife loved it, even getting more of the sauce that came with it.
I ordered a Prime Strip, which came out cool to the touch and felt like it had been placed on a refrigerated plate when taking a bite. It was cold on the bottom... It had great flavor, but I just couldn't enjoy it cold. The bartender said he told someone in the kitchen, but nobody ever came out to us. Sides were creamed spinach, that wasn't very creamy, and mac-n-cheese, that I didn't like, but my wife loved. All in all, not what we expected for $300, probably wont go back. If we do, it will be down the road, after they have got all the kinks out.
