The food was fine, though not memorable 2. Staff were pleasant, but one interaction left a bad taste 3. The overall experience was not worth the price We took two visiting family members to Tail Up Goat last week. This was their first Michelin experience and our first time at this restaurant. Tail Up Goat has a fixed dinner menu. We ordered two bottles of wine and the Ossetra caviar. We did not order any cocktails. The price was about $900, including tax and the 22%(!) service fee. I don't have much to say about the food. We enjoyed it. But nothing stood out. Staff were friendly. But one interaction left me wanting. When we decided to get the caviar, I asked if it could be brought out after, not with, the appetizer course. I figured this was standard operating procedure but wanted to confirm. I'm glad I did. The waitress said she would check with her manager. When she returned, she told me that the restaurant could accommodate my request, but that I would still have to vacate my table after our allotted dining time ran out (two-and-a-half hours, per the restaurant website). This felt cheap: This ain't bottomless brunch, and Ossetra ain't chips and dip. Our dinner companions had never had Ossetra before, and we wanted them to enjoy the luxury of it. That took an extra five minutes; there was never any risk of our table overstaying its welcome. This is a good place to talk a bit about expectations. Perhaps I put too much stock in the Michelin people, and perhaps I'm too traditional. But for nearly $1,000, you shouldn't have to think about time at all, let alone the stopwatch running on you in the back of house. You shouldn't have to pick up your coat from the floor throughout the night because it slipped off the back of your booth and nobody offered you a place to hang it. You shouldn't have to suffer the final indignity of a 2%-too-much service charge. These are small details, yes. But they matter at this level of the game. Tips for the restaurant: 1. We remember the way a restaurant makes us feel. This is the hospitality industry, after all. Michelin-level staff should have discretion to grant simple patron requests without first having to ask a manager. When granting those requests--especially after their being approved by a manager--staff should be magnanimous ("of course we can do that") instead of nagging ("watch the clock, bucko"). 2. Offer a place for our coats. If you see one on the ground, pick it up. 3. Cut the service fee to the standard 20%. The extra few bucks aren't worth the loss in patron goodwill. Tail Up Goat might be fine for date night, but, for the price, go somewhere else to truly celebrate. At the very least, $900 should buy you some white tablecloths; a memorable meal; and the chance, if only for a few hours, to forget about time.
