The food and drinks were delicious with only one issue. I ordered the Tuna. Since the menu listed it prepared rare, I specified to our waiter that I don't like mine rare and wanted it cooked medium rare. It arrived rare. I sent it back. My party was 1/2 way thru their meals when mine re-arrived now overcooked, because instead of starting with a fresh piece of fish and cooking to order they had just cooked the existing slices they had originally prepared. I expect better from a quality restaurant of Bistro-19 caliber. Since The Carlton closed Bistro-19 has become our go-to restaurant for special occasions. We will definitely be back because of previous excellent experiences, however this type of service in the future could change that.

Food was delicious with the exception of the basmati rice on the Ahi tuna dish, it was dry and flavorless.

My husband loved his steak salad. He orders it every time we go there. He loved the Cava, too. I had the Chilean Sea Bass that they described here: horseradish crust, rice wine marinade, sesame vinaigrette, macadamia basmati, Napa slaw. It was not as described. I tasted no horseradish and the Napa Slaw was just plain red cabbage that had no dressing as a slaw normally has. Everything came piled on one another. I like my various foods separately on one plate but not stacked. It was also a rather small serving at $45 and I was still hungry after finishing. I ordered early a Cava wine to come with my dinner. It did not arrive until I was 3/4 done with my entree. My husband ordered a second wine and it too came rather late when mine arrived. The fish was still tasty but I think they could have done better by me with the dinner and the timing.
