After hearing that this was a star-frequented restaurant, we came here with high hopes for a nice dinner... and were extremely disappointed. I've never written a single review for any restaurant but this one had me so mad that I decided it'd be worth it to warn others. In summary, the food, the atmosphere, and the service were sub SUB par for such an expensive restaurant.Hidden on an obscure sidewalk, we had trouble finding the restaurant.

Hidden on an obscure sidewalk, we had trouble finding the restaurant. We were sat down in a barely decorated room, with tables with linens un-ironed, and were given a cheaply laminated menus with scribbled writing. My first thought was that I had walked into the wrong restaurant. This looked like small-town diner.
We ordered a grilled cheese to start, and a scampi linguini and broccoli for our mains (as recommended by the restaurant owner?). The grilled cheese was a little lackluster but the hugest disappointments were the main courses. For a 980 dollar linguini and a 300 dollar broccoli, they were ugly as shit. The pasta was served with metal clamps and was lazily thrown onto the plate with random shrimp parts poking out, like something my 10 year old daughter could serve. The scampi themselves were mushy and were far from fresh. The worst part, however, was having to fish the fking shrimp antennae out of my mouth after every bite of pasta. Then the 300 dollar broccoli, which the waiter highly recommended, was served. 7 pieces of broccoli head drenched in olive oil sat in a plain white bowl, looking every bit like cafeteria food. Hoping that just maybe the restaurant was famous for its dessert, we ordered the panna cotta and the tiramisu. They came in 5 minutes, in airplane-food-container-looking bowls, the panna cotta with a small smear of caramel, and the tiramisu soggy.
Honestly I don't understand how this is possible but the service was even more awful then the food. After ordering, a bottle of water was placed on our table... and no waiter was ever seen again to come pour this bottle of water. Then we ordered a bottle of wine, and after opening it, no one came to refill our glasses either. Not that I am incapable of pouring my own drinks, but never have I ever experienced this kind of service at such a high end restaurant, or any restaurant. The waiters wandered around the place, and they merely looked at our empty glasses.
So in the end, all I can say is, yikes, 3,000 dollars is a lot of bowls of yummy ramen.
