My
wife
and
I
came
in
to
celebrate
our
anniversary.
I
made
my
reservation
several
weeks
in
advance
since
this
was
a
newer
restaurant
downtown
and
had
been
popular
when
it
was
over
on
Livernois.
We
were
both
surprised
to
walk
in
and
find
the
restaurant
empty
other
than
one
seated
table
in
the
back
area.
One
thing
I
noticed
right
away
after
we
were
seated
is
that
there
were
these
little
gnats
that
were
flying
around
and
would
constantly
buzz
around
in
front
of
our
faces.
I
saw
a
previous
review
that
noted
this
and
was
disappointed
to
have
that
same
experience
of
swatting
gnats
away
while
trying
to
enjoy
a
nice
evening.
We
ordered
the
Oyster
Rockefeller
appetizer
which
was
absolutely
delicious!
We
also
ordered
the
Parker
House
Rolls
which
were
good.
For
main
entrees,
I
ordered
the
Dry
Aged
Ribeye
and
my
wife
ordered
the
Pan
Fried
Branzino.
The
fish
was
decent,
but
left
much
to
be
desired
as
far
as
taste,
the
presentation
was
nice.
The
Ribeye
was
tasty
but
also
somewhat
fatty
and
a
bit
overcooked.
I
ordered
it
medium.
It
was
was
more
med-well.
It
was
served
with
a
small
cup
of
sautéed
vegetables
on
the
side
and
mashed
potatoes.
The
vegetables
were
good.
The
potatoes
were
rather
dry.
For
dessert,
we
ordered
the
peach
cobbler.
It
was
more
of
a
berry
cobbler
and
came
with
a
little
dollop
of
vanilla
ice
cream
that
we
shared.
It’s
hard
to
explain
but,
we
did
not
enjoy
it
like
you
would
hope
to
enjoy
a
peach
cobbler
at
this
restaurant.
One
other
thing,
and
this
may
seem
small,
but
important
in
my
opinion.
When
I
initially
made
the
reservation,
I
was
asked
if
we
were
celebrating
anything
special.
I
said
“yes,
it
was
our
anniversary”.
While
at
the
restaurant,
neither
the
hostess
nor
the
server
made
mention
of
it.
While
speaking
to
the
server,
I
casually
mentioned
it
as
well,
but
he
never
wished
us
a
happy
anniversary.
This
is
a
small
thing
but
when
dining
out
at
a
“fine
dining”
establishment,
it’s
those
little
things
that
go
a
long
way
in
separating
yourself
from
those
that
provide
a
mediocre
customer
experience
and
those
who
provide
a
stellar
or
personalized
customer
experience.
As
a
reference
point,
the
total
bill
was
$260.
Overall,
we
were
disappointed
in
our
evening
at
Table
No.
2.
The
service
was
good,
but
the
food
and
overall
experience
was
far
from
what
I
would
think
of
as
fine
dining.
We
left
feeling
kind
of
taken
advantage
of.
It’s
disappointing
because
we
were
looking
forward
to
a
special
experience
and
felt
let
down.
We
pondered
if
we
would
have
had
a
better
experience
at
one
of
the
other
fine
dining
establishments
in
the
area.
We
chose
Table
No.
2
based
off
of
its
good
previous
reputation
and
experience.
I
would
never
try
to
discourage
people
from
dining
at
the
restaurant,
your
experience
may
be
much
better
than
ours
was.
However,
based
on
our
personal
experience,
we
do
not
plan
to
return.
