    We have been trying to get a reservation for a while and was so excited we were finally able to secure one. Unfortunately, our visit was a disappointment. The best part about our experience was the service- it was excellent from start to finish. The food on the other hand was mediocre. We ordered three apps. One was good, one was great and the third was meh. For dinner, my husband ordered the duck and loved it! I ordered the Dover sole for $70 and it was tasteless. Supposed to have charred broccoli and was steamed instead. I let our waiter know and he was so kind. He returned to tell me that the kitchen agreed with me. I got the fresh crab over slaw app to replace my fish and again it was just okay…nothing special. Didn’t want to send it back so I told our waiter it was better. I think the hype of the place and our eagerness to go made it disappointing that the food did not meet our expectations.
