One of the worst meals we have ever had at a restaurant, and we have been around. It was a huge disappointment after reading all the great reviews.... maybe we hit an off night? Our server was very nice, the tomato tart app was very...nice. We both ordered the beef tenderloin, worst piece of meat we have ever been served. Our server assured us that if we ordered medium well and medium rare that's exactly what we would get. What we got was dry grey meat with only a sliver of pale pink in the middle, and a few dried out potato slices. No vegetables. The meat had a slimy green chimchurri sauce over the top which was not appropriate, and not at all what the on-line menu states....our mistake. It actually tasted like it was microwaved, no flavour, no char, no seasoning. Shocking to say the least. We told our server that the meat was overcooked, dry and grey and she was to tell the chef, but no comments or compensation from the chef. We left about a third to a quarter of each steak uneaten. Perhaps we should have sent it back completely uneaten? Our mistake again I guess. The building I appreciate is very old, but is quite run down, and my view while dining was a sort of a utility closet area, and rotting eaves/see photos. The surrounding gardens are overgrown and full of weeds. I rate the service poor only because she assured us our meat would be perfectly done. I seldom leave a bad review, you can check my history. Live and learn.More
