text: We should have stuck with our no celebrity chef policy but we went and tried it anyway I would NOT recommend this place The food was bland Major oversalting on one dish and no seasoning on another Very small portions The service was so formal it was not even a fun experience I especially hated the manager pacing up and down the isle with his hands clasped behind his back I felt like we were being watchednnHistorically I have loved Batalis restaurants but this one is trying way to hard to be something It needs to add a whole lot of friendliness to the place and o some serious evaluation of the foodnnI have no problem paying a couple hundred dollars for an amazing meal but after this one I left hungry and wondering what I just ate and why it did not taste all that good
