Great Place but Not For Kids
The food and ambiance is excellent but not for kids. Go here for a date night and leave the kids at home unless they're over 12. Yummy...
Silly Me !!!
I should have done my research prior too.......!!! \t\n \t\n Had I read these reviews prior too,I would have probably wasted neither my time nor $$$ !!! But on Thanksgiving there are few options available !!!\t\n For starters we opted to try the calamari......QUITE ...soggy/greasy and about 3 tablespoons !!! Secondly,I had what they referred to as a Bee Bibb Ceaser.....which consisted of barely enough greens to adequately cover a hamburger and some white anchovies which must have swam away because they were in no way apparent in my salad !!!\t\n Molecular Gastronomy.......a nice way of feeding the proprietor's ego and not the customer's palate !!! LOL\t\nFor what I paid for my meal consisting of a piece of halibut wrapped in prosciutto smaller than a cube of butter, and a serving spoonful of leeks and fennel reduced in butter !!! I could have fed half of the Union Gospel Mission's residents Red Mill Double Bacon cheese burgers with fries !!! LOL At least 15 of them !!! And last but not least to add insult to injury.....the waiter had the audacity to ask if we had saved enough room for dessert !!! I just about fell out of my chair laughing !!! Since I DID need just a little more substance to quell my hunger,I opted for the dark chocolate and 3 "fresh rasberry" count em torte !!! LOL "Fresh Rasberries" in November.......LOL Go figure !!! \t\n Soooo,I guess in short I wiLL noTTT be returning to "Earth and Ocean" in this lifetime unless it is to be buried in either element !!! This establishment has earned the ratings it has garnished in the previous reviews !!!\t\n\t\nP.S. And based on the # of poor reviews this place has gotten......I don't think that the proprietor's are the least bit concerned or interested in improving upon it !!! Cia'o \t\n\t\n
Terrible service, flippant attitude
Based upon City Searches information for Easter Brunch, we made reservations and confirmed Easter brunch would still be served at the time we were able to attend. When we arrived, there was no Easter brunch, we had 3 or 4 different servers who could not have cared less... and couldn't be bothered to bring anything we requested such as butter for our toast. A tea press was functioning poorly, cafe au lait was nothing more than bitter coffee with some milk, and generally it was a depressing experience. My best advice: Don't ever go to this restaurant. They think they are too cool by half.
Worst food, major attitude from staff, this place should go out of business
We went for New Year's Eve with two other couples. First, they had sat our party behind the hostess bar, I truly believe this could not be the normal set up. We were right next to the fire exit door, and a thin wall protected us from the bar area, which was booming h...ouse music. The waitress should get a new job, she was snooty, unprofessional, and flat out rude. I brought a vueve rose, and they forgot to chill a $200 bottle; they left it in the coat room. The menu was fixed and the prices were astronomical for what they were offering. The food was decent but not near what we expected, I much rather of eaten at Daniel's, atleast they have steak on the menu. On a whole, it was an awful experience. The food is way overpriced and it was tasteless. They should not call themselves fine-dining, they are very far from this.
Mediocre overpriced food!
Since Maria Hines left, E&O is not the same. I visited on a weekday and the place was empty (should have been a sign). I sat down and looked at the menu, the least expensive of 6/7 entrees was 32$. If you have a few of them on the menu, I'd expect them to be flawless. T...hey weren't. Our table had duck, steak and salmon and they were all equally disappointing. For a 34$ NY strip, I was expecting a nice juicy piece of grilled perfection. What I got was a boring, underseasoned steak with a lot of inedible fat (I left half of it in my plate) with a dollop of gooey butter on top and overcooked vegetables on the side. The meal price category should not be $$ but more like $$$ and for that price range I'd go somewhere else. I'm definitely not going back anytime soon.
Met my expectation for a nice place to eat
Ambience: great! More modern-type scene. Service: the bread-man is awesome! Price: $25-3-course-meal was...
