Wtf happened? I haven't been in about a year, but I heard their chef went to IPO. Has it gotten that bad? It was so damn good.

Without turning this into the F and B Board... It was a shite show. Front of the house was a mess, a waiter literally threw our appetizer onto the table and walked off without saying a word. I stopped a passing Manager and asked if we could possibly have some plates, napkins and silverware to eat. He then sent the waiter BACK TO OUR TABLE TO APOLOGIZE like a grade school kid. It was embarrasing for everyone. Awkward. Steak came out of the back ice cold. Not even warm. Sent it back to grill and it returned overcooked. The bartender made me a Manhattan that had either dry vermouth or something else in it. It's three damn ingredients, get it right. It didn't even resemble a Manhattan. We had to ask for steak knives for main course, etc. It really was bad.

On a side note, we ate at IPO Saturday night and it was fantastic. Met the Head Chef and related the Stroube's story. He just chuckled. Nice guy.
