It’s one thing to be able to create a menu. It’s another thing to be able to hire a staff and properly and consistently execute that menu. Funny, most of the places listed share something in common.

Going by his reputation, I don't think he would make changes based on customer feedback necessarily, but he is skilled enough that he personally doesn't seem like he'd want lackluster or cold food being served.
If he’s a top chef and is tolerating that, then he’s burned out and isn’t on top of his game.
Any top chef would at least be turning out hot food.

I don't think he runs the kitchen. I think he just designed the menu as a consultant.
That's what he does now because his reputation in the industry prevents him from getting a kitchen to run.
He's a dick who nobody wants to work for.
And the constant allegations of sexual harassment. I don't know if those are true, but there's a lot of them out there
He's not in charge at Colonel's Club and never has been.

Yeah, all I've ever heard is that he's extremely hard to work for and a major fricking a-hole. That dude can whip up some awesome dishes though.

Yeah, he's not the chef as far as I've ever known. Although, I guess I figured part of the consulting gig would be ensuring the actual people in the kitchen execute properly. But I guess once you're out of the picture, that's on management.
Sadly, I've heard many of the same accusations you describe.. as well as some hilariously bad other stunts.
I guess it is pretty smart of him to have gone the short term consulting route where he's finished the job before any trouble begins.

Had a similar situation a couple weeks ago. Service was awful and food was meh. Waited about 20min just for water. Drinks and food took forever and we rarely saw our waitress. I think we were there for 3.5 hrs total and not because we were drinking and having a good time; mostly just waiting. The drinks were the star of the show but unfortunately b/c of the bad service we weren't able to try as many as we would have liked.
May give it another chance but not anytime soon.

read the previous....now I'm wondering if we should just go somewhere else.

It is much better than it used to be. My last two experiences were very good.
Posted on 7/2/26 at 10:38 am to LouisianaLady
Same here

I’ll have to try. That’s the first good thing I’ve heard in a bit,

The atmosphere and cocktails are great in the little side bar. Restaurant atmosphere is great too but the food is just ok.

Chef Dick Sausage leaves and the food gets better. Imagine that!

Went a couple weeks ago, my friend was playing music, had eaten at DiGiulio’s. Quick look at the Menu, saw Jalapeño Deviled Eggs, they were very good. Drinks were also good.
Went to Building 5 next door, two nights ago, another friend was playing music there, some say the food there was really good, but I didn’t order food, the drinks were very good.
Both times, I got a good parking spot.

So a Mark Maggio clone? That dude was a grade A a-hole.

went recently and got the hamburger/smashburger or whatever they call it and it was very good, would definitely order again

It’s really beautiful inside. The prices are outrageous, so I never drink or dine there on my own tab. The quality of everything I have had there is excellent, so I have no shade to throw beyond the prices. I’m a cheapskate, so that place is far too rich for my blood.

ow could the pendulum swing so far the other way? I adored Beausoleil
I preferred the less pretentious old beausoleil. I know it's been a few years now, but when they redesigned their menu and expanded, the price seemed to have doubled. It was a great place for brunch on Sundays. Now it's a very pricey seafood joint.

I got this as well. Maybe it's because I was starving, but I think I said it was the best burger of my life.
