Maybe I missed something. I kept waiting for something to happen but it just never did. \nAll of these other reviews really express the visual details of the food here. So I won't re-hash all that. Well, maybe a few.\nThe restaurant space is very 90's. The red color, mirrors, unique all encompassing egg theme. Pink salt blocks everywhere. I just didn't get it. I understand the whole salt block culinary experience thing. But stacked up as a wall at the kitchen entrance? Not for me. The service? Super strange. The sommelier was like a game show host. Now I can appreciate that this job can lend to that sort of personality. But it was obnoxious. We saw more of him than we did our server. And again, I think she meant well.....but she came off as wanting to interact with us as little as possible. But she's the server?! We asked for recommendations and her opinions and she had none. No information to give us. A really strange experience.\nSo its not cheap, right. And I knew I was in for a culinary experience from what I know of Mr. Burke whom I greatly admire. But the lobster risotto was terrible. Really. And I hate to say things like this is a review. But it must be said because it's very expensive. The dish was so complicated and over-wrought and the lobster was over cooked. The dish wasn't particularly pretty either. I love lobster risotto and order it frequently elsewhere and it has been gorgeous to just stare at. Not here. My dining companions' filet was fine, not great but fine. We ordered the bacon fries and fish n' chips to start......both were excellent. I would go back and sit at the bar with both apps and a few drinks. And the drinks...... I order Makers Mark Manhattans on the rocks wherever I go. At David Burke.......it was a dud. Weak and watery, neon red cherry out of the jar. Not classy. Step it up.\nSo there it is, my not so nice review. I won't be back except for maybe sitting at the bar with the aforementioned apps and a glass of wine. Spent way too much money and was not happy. Sorry David.
