2 /5 Ania Banania: We drove 3 hours to go to the NYE Wizard dinner, which was severely overpriced & disappointing. The announcement said we’d be ringing in the new year, so we expected a party and to countdown the new year at the restaurant. But when I asked if the event is going into the new year, the waitress nastily said they close at 9. I thought the experience of ringing in the new year was part of the price…. What exactly did we pay so much for?!?! The whole thing was a joke! They forgot the goat cheese and dressing in the salad. The soup was cold. We sent it back and when it came back it still wasn’t hot and the waitress was so rude about it. We asked for little ice in our drinks, we got extra ice. Then the fire alarm went off three times. No one knew what to do, should we leave?!? No one came to explain, apologize or said anything about it. Some ppl left after this.
There were 8 courses in total, three were tiny. But none of it would explain why the meal cost so much, none of it was expensive. Last time I checked a dry tiny scone, a microscopic riblet, a few frisee leaves (without goat cheese) surrounded in a ring of phyllo dough, a cold soup with a deli sliced piece of cheese thrown on top, a small drumstick with spatzle, a teaspoon of super dry mashed potatoes, a few small pieces of short rib with a few microgreens, a tiny clotted cream tart, and a dessert mess for a toddler…. Aren’t worth $139. They literally put plastic shower curtains down on ur table and slathered a variety of sauces on it, then lit up a marshmallow on a candlestick that burned for 5 seconds. I asked what each sauce was and the girl had no idea….. she left then returned a few minutes later cuz she forgot to give us a chocolate ball which she smashed and half of it fell on the ground and she ran away. The waitress forgot to give us spoons so we ate with our fingers. I asked three times for a water refill before I finally got one. Then we left at almost 9pm and they were still seating people. I thought they closed at 9, as the waitress rudely said. I’m still puzzled at what exactly we paid $139 for…. I feel like we got bamboozled….
