Wow...what the hell happened to this once former shining star of the upscale LIC dining scene?I came by last night to celebrate a buddy's birthday, recalling a menu filled with decadent delights and stellar service. Well, those recollections are now just mere memories. We were a party of 3 set for an 8pm reservation. We started off with cocktails while we perused the now-severely limited menu (8 apps, 6 entrees, 3 desserts). For cocktails, we all started with the A La Louisiana (Rye, Sweet Vermouth, Benedictine, Absinthe, and bitters), and it was actually very tasty.Then we proceeding to...try...and order the rest of the meal's dishes. Having looked at the menu beforehand online, I had my heart set on the wagyu with maple asparagus. The birthday boy also decided on as well. But...server promptly advised they were out. Okay...shit happens, on to the next choice...the duck marget. Also out. I mean...wtf. You're out of 33% of your entrees at 8PM on a Saturday night?! Talk about putting a yuge fcking damper on the evening. While we all had to recalibrate due to the entrée disaster scene, we thought of at least order some apps. Having remembered that they had some excellent bone marrow, we asked about the peas, beans, razor and marrow dish. The server said it was very good and similar to the former marrow dish, just not on the bone. So we opted for that and a half dozen oysters. And then begrudgingly order 2 of the NY "galbi" strip with fries and the foie gras macaronades w/ morels.The rundown:peas, beans, razor and marrow - absolutely nothing like the former bone marrow dish...with virtually no marrow at all (had it not been in the title, I wouldn't have even guessed it was an ingredient). It was...okay, but basically creamy peas and beans.oysters - thankfully rather hard to f this one up, pretty good.NY "galbi" strip with fries - the steak was cooked to order (medium rare), but rather extremely overpriced at $49 for a pretty cheap cut. foie gras macaronades w/ morels - it was a tasty dish, decadently creamy, but very very little foie gras. During the meal, we also ordered a bottle of red for $66.Getting the check, the meal was about $400 (they did us the pleasure of requiring an automatic gratuity of 20%). Overall, a terribly disappointing outing at a place I used to love. Will not be going back until something drastic changes. ...just an epic fall from grace.
