text: I am torn between a or star We had a terrible time getting a reservation My friend was visiting and her flight was at am so she wanted to eat early We had a PM reservation and they said they do not hold reservations I arrived at and there were hostesses gabbing I walked up to check in and they told me I had to get in line to check in I said cannot I just check in and wait at the bar NOPE They do not open the doors until Seems to me I would open at and get some cocktail revenue Plus would not it be just as easy and more polite to just check me in But hey what do I know They were pretty snooty and I do not know why Bet they do not make enough to eat there So I stand in line like an asshole and wait Then at she yells out who has a reservation nnWe are seated quickly and the waiter brings an iPad with the specialty drinks There are no prices on the drink menu The tables are on top of each other NYC style That would have been OK if they did not squeeze people in a top right next to me The guy was huge and I had to keep myself tucked in like the middle seat on a plane Luckily they were really nice and I had fun talking to them nnFoodnBrown butter tortellini it was oknBeef Wellington which is the signature dish You can only get it rare but it is baked so it is not bloody for us medium eaters The Wellington itself was pretty good I hated the sauce it was floating in It tasted like something from NASA The root vegetables were fantastic All bites of them nCreamed spinach was pretty yummy nFilet She ordered it medium and I swear it was going to moo She sent it back and it returned exactly the same She ended up not eating it and taking it to gonSticky toffee pudding for dessert Good nFrench press coffee that came with chocolate spoons That was the highlight of the meal A must have nOne Beaujoulais wine nOne antioxidant cocktail nnPricewise ridic It was plus tip To be squished in not able to breathe rude hostesses and pretentious and annoying assistant waiters Our waiter was pretty nice and efficient So to sum up this rant Do not bother I would way prefer STK Craft Nine Gallaghers even Outback actually almost anywhere but here Gordon needs to show up here and do some swearing Def a tourist trap Oh and one last thing I hated the music annoyed the heck out of me
