The three of us arrived and were seated. 5 minutes later two other large groups were seated. We had yet to be offered water. The two other groups were greeted and served water before we were. Service was slow throughout dinner. The others were also served their food before us. The food was unremarkable, (the trout and two beef entrees). It was not the dining experience worthy of a $300.00 tab. We’ve had one very enjoyable experience there and one enjoyable experience. It was their first opening night and they are an educational institution but you can’t charge for a fine dining experience and not give one.
