well, i love ramsay, and had to see what he could do. and whether or not you can break old habits. i just thought the whole things would be such an interesting philosophical/psychological experience. Business management, one person going in, the smoke that is left after the show. Life after the inspiring talk, the wayne dyer moment of clarity,, the great AH-HA! so, i came here of friday night. it was rather empty. It was only 20% full. The food, oh. it was great. GREAT. YES, IT WAS EXCELLENT! I got the salad, and it was perfect and fresh. No tomato rose. WIth bread you could dip in chutney. We got complimentary appetizer that consisted of fig? It was so good, i really ate it up since i was hungry,, sorry i could not explain it better. Then we got chicken stuffed with fig and spinach. GREAT. Also lamb in pistacho sauce, GREAT... the desert was fabulous as well. cardamon ice cream. But here is the problem,, the big problem. There were these tiny fruit flies around my food. At least 3 different ones. Sometimes 2 at once. It was early November. There was no reason for anything that flies. Plus, my friend had to change her plate since it was dirty. Anywhere else, it would maybe be a bit excusable, esp the dirty plate, i have had that happen often throughout NYC, but after Kitchen Nightmares, i would be so careful about flies, about dirt about anything that would EVER make ANYONE doubt the restaurant, and give it anything less than the 5 stars they deserved for service, for value, and for taste and presentation of the food.
Pros: excellent food
Cons: this place should be sparkling clean
