Really disappointed with the meal my wife and I had. Our friends have raved about Harlo, so we finally decided to go for a congratulatory dinner. Took way too long for a server to greet us and bring us menus, wine list wasn't dropped off, had to wait till we were eating our appetizers to receive a wine list.
We both ordered cocktails to start, I had the Remember the Treuse, tasted out of balance, all I tasted was vermouth.
We split the Pastrami Wedge, not enough Pastrami to put it in the name, I guess two croutons in a salad is enough to make it plural.
The Shrimp Cocktail was delicious and the two sauces were fantastic.
The 18 oz Ribeye was so disappointing, no seasoning or char. No amount of steak sauce or condiments could help the flavor.
We did order Au Poivre and Bernaise sauces for the steak, the Au Poivre was ok, had a hint of peppercorns, the Classic Bernaise was a let down. Not the rich velvety, buttery herbal bernaise I know. I think the last time I had a sauce turned into foam was 2009. The sauce deflated everytime I touched it with a potato or fork.
Sides were the Crispy potatoes- delicious, not as hot as I would've liked. Yams- very tasty and sweet, but didn't come with the spiced yogurt sauce as described in the menu. Server went to the kitchen and brought out a cup of the yogurt sauce, I would've rather had the Chef send out a fresh order from the kitchen as it should have, with the sauce. Broccollini with garlic and lemon was ok, needed some more seasoning.
Had to ask about the bread other tables were getting but not us, someone forgot.
The wine stewardess, Amy was exceptional. Gave me a great suggestion for two wines, both great. She also was filling in for the server by filling up our water glasses when empty and clearing plates when finished.
