    We had high expectations from a Michelin star restaurant. The ambience was great. The cocktails were good, although the server mixed them up and did not know which one was which. This was not our main server. Our main server, Robin, was great, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We ordered the summer tasting menu, which was a five course meal. The breads were delicious, followed corn veloute served with popcorn. The veloutte was a little salty. A drop of Madras curry oil was a great touch. This was followed by lobster salad with heirloom tomatoes, avocados, and peaches. The ingredients were very fresh, but the dressing was just oil and balsamic vinegar drizzled. We expected more. A fresh lemon vinaigrette what happen a fantastic touch. This was followed by a grilled turbot and the fish was perfectly cooked. The sauce, however, was mediocre with tomatoes, capers, and olive oil all raw. After that was beef Wellington. This was really good. It was served with mashed potatoes, but they were a little gummy. We were told it was served with welted greens, but it tasted like parsley salad. Nice refreshing touch for a summer menu. The final course was dessert, which was some kind of a baked peach inside a macaroon type ring. It was fine, but the peach was very tart. The ice cream was good. The first three courses felt rushed, and the server was not clear on what was served, and how it should be eaten. For example, was the popcorn supposed to be added to the Velloute? The chef never came out to introduce himself or check on us. We had seven drinks, four summer testing menus. And tip for a $1200 tab. We discussed this menu and experience as a family. Would we come back for this meal for $1200? absolutely not. What was lacking was flavors. Also, I’ve been to a few Michelin star restaurants and usually the presentation of food is unique. It was fine like any other fine restaurant but nothing spectacular. Overall, four star experience.
