I think they do a tremendous job with the food and the service has really come along.<br /><br />I am curious, not from a debate standpoint, but what other restaturants in Sioux Falls do you consider high-end?The Secret Forkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03699934902709536406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689759279965297515.post-85904322183311840402011-02-07T08:44:30.561-08:002011-02-07T08:44:30.561-08:00Correction to above: it was octopus, not lobster ...Correction to above: it was octopus, not lobster in the salad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689759279965297515.post-16193984519653585842011-02-03T14:12:55.107-08:002011-02-03T14:12:55.107-08:00My mother & I had dinner there last summer.

I had pasta with tomato-y sauce (it was bland) mom said her lobster salad was not that great. The guy next to us complained to the waiter about his duck. It was dry. I can't believe people go there for the food. I understand they have replaced the chef since we were there. But, there's no way you can put this place on par with the other high-end restaurants in town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689759279965297515.post-76597331861647439952011-02-03T14:12:24.062-08:002011-02-03T14:12:24.062-08:00My mother & I had dinner there last summer.

I think we were at the table a good 10 minutes before the waiter even stopped by to take our drink order. I don't recall the water glasses being filled. <br /><br />While the food might be great, who wants to go to a restaurant (especially an expensive restaurant) and be treated like a second class citizen?Betsynoreply@blogger.com
