I really wish this place was good. I have dined in person and I have had a few dishes from here on different occasions and they were all underwheling at best. I typically order a medium rare steak to gauge the quality of a restaurant. The steak was not only overdone (beyond well done), it also lacked any flavor and was incredibly dry. I might as well have ordered better beef jerky. Quail was equally dry. Risotto was undercooked and slimy. I rated one star because brunch is decent.. but then again, its difficult to mess up eggs and pancakes.

Frites didn't come with Mayo and were bland. Used to get these a lot for flavor and dip but inconsistent. Carbonara did not have quail egg

The East Coast Oysters I ordered was a mess. The meat itself was out of its shell, and the arugula was just thrown in there with no flavor.
The Lobster Rissotto was underwhelming, and I wished they had details on what's on the rissotto but an ingredient in there made the texture slimy... definitely stopped after 2 bites and just ate the lobster and the vegetables.
