Never been more disappointed. Meal was ~$3500 for two. 2 soups, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and a bottle of red. Only consolation was that the assistant sommelier was cool and absolutely knew his wines well.2 soups.

2 soups.
First was supposedly chicken consomme (ravioli) -> tasted like wontons in beef broth.
Second was mushroom cappuccino -> tasted like Campbell's mushroom soup.
Foie Gras.
Foie Gras at a fine dining premium price. Okay, will let this slide. As they say, 'Willing to eat the salty fish...willing to endure the thirst'. But still a sick price for average seared foie.
2 entrees. Crazy Expensive.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Grilled fish -> tasted like grilled fish. Asked for more lemon to blockout the dryness of it.
Veal cheek in blah blah blah sauce -> tasted like the local beef stew.
Wine.
This was the only good part so will let it slide. But again, it was at a sick premium.
Go for the wine to impress business clients. But don't take your friends or significant others for the food.
As a foodie, I've ultimately never needed to write a review before, so you could only imagine how far off that this place did not meet expectations.
Overall: Foodwise, this place is the epitome of the Emperor's New Clothes.
