Okay food, you pay for what you get....kinda.

by hnwspiller

We went for our wedding anniversary...someone had gotten us a gift certificate. Granted with the dinner and hotel package, you had to choose off of a seperate menu. I got the prime rib, I remember the carrots being very good, the rib was also good. I ordered it med rare.....bad choice...I got soo sick, I cant even tell you what my husband ordered. While I was sick in our hotel bathroom, my husband was in the jacuzzi alone, with the bottle of champagne. I second the motion that the resturant was very dark, we waited about 30 minutes for a seat, with reservations to boot. The waitress caught us off color, when as it seems...we didnt leave her a big enough tip. Then gentlemen in the resturant were very nice. However, my biggest criticism of the entire experience, we got looks from people because my husband is black. Which was in no way appreciated. The breakfast the next morning @ the hotel was ok too. Would I go again? Yeah sure, with another gift certificate. I wouldnt pay for if myself.

• Pros: Okay food.
• Cons: Dark, Employee Attitude

Horrible and darkness atmosphere, poor courtesy and NOTHING ROMANTIC!

by albertomc

The past Sept.11 I went with my girlfriend to this restaurant thinking that it would be good & romantic for the critics that I have read in this page, only one bad comment (until now! ). But the truth is I'm wrong:

-The wait staff received us with bad face and poor courtesy. While we entered the restaurant, the maitre just raised his eyebrow, stared at us, and waited for us to "report" to him why we were there. To show that we had a reservation, I offered my last name to him. He came up with a very strange pronunciation and he didn't give a hoot. Although we have reserved a table, they did not prepare anything.

-The atmosphere was so dark that you could hardly read the menu. Maybe they need to use all the electricity outside because inside of the 'dungeon' they use very very low lights. The hall it's like a horrible wax museum (maybe the latex statues would be previous clients, I don't know).

- The food seemed so so and the only thought I had in that moment, was to escape from there.

My recommendation: Don't go! Anything restaurant would be much better.

Este ultimo 11 de Septiembre fui con mi novia a este restaurante pensando que seria bueno y romantico.. No pude equivocarme mas:

- El personal de la entrada nos recibio con mala cara y muy poca cortesia, parecia que les molestaba que estuvieramos alli. No supieron pronunciar mi apellido y tampoco les importo.

- El ambiente es siniestro, practicamente no hay luz en el interior.. No se si es que necesitaran utilizar toda la electricidad en el exterior, porque desde fuera si esta muy iluminado!, pero si van mejor lleven linternas o antorchas para ver las caras a sus acompa?antes. El hall es como un museo de cera! (quizas las estatuas fueran clientes anteriores, no lo se).

- La comida es normal pero cuando la trajeron en lo unico en que pensaba era en escapar de alli lo mas pronto posible.

Mi recomendacion: No vayan! cualquier otro restaurante seria mejor eleccion.

• Pros: none
• Cons: very poor courtesy, hideous & very dark atmosphere, horrible & kitsch decoration

Atmosphere-straight kitsch, food mediocre and service the same. What is all the hooplah about -is it because there are costly collections that he can deduct, eg cars?

I belong to a group who insist on meeting here. I have never been impressed with the food and the wait staff needs a few lessons in courtesy and efficiency. I am offended by the decor, which lacks taste, is over-priced and over the top. Would not return there on my own but have been outvoted by those lacking refinement.

• Pros: none
• Cons: decor, food and wait staff including the stuffed ones.
