• Nice, but expensive wine choices.
• Poorly prepared, poorly paired, bad atmosphere.

“Just finished a horrible meal. Overcooked duck breast, swimming in a raspberry sauce. The sides accompanying vegetables seemed not only mismatched, but were improperly cooked. My companions dinner was an elk loin, the loin itself was tasty, but the snap peas were overcooked, and the sweet potatoes were like paste. Our quail appetizer was dry, and the tips on the lettuce served with it were brown. Dessert was a very bland almond cake, with an equally bland caramel sauce (which I didn't know was possible). The atmosphere was unremarkable, and the acoustics bad. At times the laughter at a close by table was enough to make me want to hold my ears.”
