Where to begin.\nSERVICE:\nWe were a little late to The going away party we were attending. When we did arrive and finally seated, we weren't offered any of the sparkling wine the rest of the table was drinking. When we finally asked for glasses, we waited...and waited...and waited...\nI wanted to get my order in so that we could get our food with the rest of the party.  This shouldn't have been a big deal; I ordered the rockfish, for my date and I to split, and then some lobster bisque, since I'd heard rave reviews (on here) that this was the way to go as far as soups.\nWe had a party of 12, and while this can sometimes be a daunting task, there wasn't much maintenance to our table.  We had the same bottle of Cava for the entire table and then each person was drinking water. \nThe bisque came at the same time as  the other appetizers, but he tried to take it away before I was done (pet peeve!). There was a lot left, so there shouldn't have been a question as to whether or not I had finished. \nDinner came and went. I requested a wine list, but the server asked me after I had finished the entree if I wanted any wine. Desserts, which are made by Tracy Dempsey, were never offered.\nThe guest check was a disaster! I think they needed an abacus to figure out how to split it. We only wanted it split three ways. Not difficult. It took 25 minutes and three tries.\nFOOD\nThis could end up being a four page write up. So I'll try to keep it short.\nThe fact that I'm in the industry shouldn't deter me from trying new restaurants. But, I was surprisingly underwhelmed with the creativity. And I would regret it If I failed to mention the lack of seasoning, I also despise SPLIT PLATE fees unless you split the plate for me, but when I'm doing all the work - don't you dare charge me 5 dollars.\n The rockfish portion could have been - and I'm being generous here - 4 ounces. I'd be surprised if it was a four ounce portion. It was four small bites. So, $25 and four bites later....\nAnd the lobster bisque...no. Under seasoned, thin, and over creamed. At least finish it off with some sherry and I also wouldn't mind a reminder that I'm eating lobster.\nAMBIENCE\nwhatever. It was dark.  The bathrooms are pretty and clean. \nI am sorry our party of twelve spent more than 60 a head at this establishment.
