🤢 2/5 - We chose Red Paper Clip for our Valentines Day dinner

We chose Red Paper Clip for our Valentines Day dinner because we heard great things about it, but our experience was very disappointing. Service was backed up by over an hour. Our seating was at 8:15. We arrived at 8:05 or so and were told to wait at the bar. Soon, the waiting area started getting backed up with other patrons who had arrived only to find that all the tables were not only full but still in the middle of their meal. The staff provided us with free drinks, which was nice, but we ended up waiting at the bar for about an hour before getting seated. I ordered the cocktail Better Luck Tomorrow, which was full of small pieces of ice (from the shaker) that made it unpleasant to drink. The flavor itself was just all right, but based on this I decided not to try another.Once seated, we were presented with the Valentines Day menu, which to my recollection was not on the website. The normal tasting menu is $90pp, but the Valentines menu was $175pp. We weren't too bothered by it because the menu frankly looked stunning on paper and we were open to giving it a try. The meal started off well, but unfortunately the quality steadily deteriorated.Caviar/oyster two ways - Both delicious, but some of the tables were served with oysters that had a "smoky" presentation element (dry ice), whereas ours did not.Everything Brioche - Delicious as wellMaitake - TastyCavatelli / XLB agnolotti - these two dishes came out together. The black truffle didn't marry particularly well with the agnolotti, but we enjoyed both.Sweetbread congee - this is described on the menu as a "risotto" but it was too dry to be risotto and the dish lacked dimension in flavor.Lobster three ways - the miso beurre blanc was amazing, and the salt and pepper fried lobster was also good. However, the sticky rice was quite tasteless.Beef "Wellington" - The meat was tasty but very fatty. The scallion pancake did not resemble a scallion pancake (did not have any pastry layers and wasn't crispy; resembled bread that was turned into a scallion garlic bread of some kind). The greens and sunchokes failed to freshen up the heaviness of the meat.Klondike bar - Our dessert was half-melted ice cream they took straight out of a fridge (we were able to see the kitchen from our table), with sauce that was messily dripped into the bowl. Can't comment on the taste as we didn't have the appetite to try it. I took the photo pretty much as soon as they set the plate down.Although our original reservation was 8:15, we didn't leave the restaurant till 11:30. The food, service, and overall experience were certainly not worth the $400+ we paid for this meal. During the meal, we heard another table ask about why everything was so backed up, and one of the servers explained that patrons started showing up late to their reservations. I think this hardly explains the sloppiness of the food, the long waits between dishes, and the sporadic service. I am sorry to say that we will not be coming back.
