3 /5 Matt Hisert: We dined as a party of six and ordered four appetizers: bacon mac and cheese, tenderloin skewers, chicken wings, and meatballs. The mac and cheese was watery and lacked flavor. The tenderloin skewers were tender but oddly sweet. The meatballs were good, and while the wings tasted fine, they were very small.
For entrées, we ordered three 24-oz ribeyes, a pork chop, and two pasta dishes. The ribeyes were just okay and not worth the $65 price tag—especially when places like Delmonico’s offer better-quality steaks for about half the price. One ribeye came with creamed spinach, which tasted more like steamed spinach in salt water. The pork chop was a good size but underwhelming in flavor, and the kimchi fried rice that came with it was bland with poor consistency. The truffle strozzapreti was decent but nothing special, while the Calabrian rigate was very good and one of the better dishes we had.
The mixed drinks were good. Dessert was the highlight—the cookie and s’mores skillet was very good. Service was also a positive; both the waitress and waiter were friendly and attentive. Overall, we were surprised when the bill totaled $615, which felt difficult to justify given the overall food quality.
