    Where to start, a risotto that is swimming in bowl of what looks to be akin to the Biscayne bay to an inferior mozzarella they are sadly proud of this was a let down of epic proportions. This is one for the books of over hyped and sadly not able to meet the expectations.

    Not one thing on our table was executed with any proficiency. Following dinner I guessed that the age of the Chef was early 30's and was right on the nose. A young chef trying to impress with no ability to execute.

    Looking at the menu I could only wonder, so many mixed taste profiles and complex concoctions. Even my dinning companion was at a loss as to how to comprehend such a puzzle. I tried to explain as much as possible though even I had to differ to the waiter more than a few times to try and decipher some of the methods used.

    Even during the meal the table next to us were just as surprised at the absurdity of the offerings once presented. Living in NYC I thought to write and ask Jeffrey Chaderow the owner to comment on this blunder and see if he could answer to this "Horror Show" of a meal.

    My experience, great wine, food was off the charts bad, with a wait for the staff to have a wine tasting to be seated for 20 minutes past opening not to mention past our reservation, and a manager that argues about serving inferior product to the point of bringing it packaged to the table I was truly at a loss. And as far as my companion, a man that never returns a thing sent everything back even the mashed potatoes they said were the "best side" so he would not be sitting across from me with only a diet coke commented the potatoes would be better used for wallpaper paste (I agreed with his assumption on them, bland and pureed to that exact consistency).

    Following this "meal" we went to the Jewish deli down the street for something at least edible. As I see it, it as a mere $250 bill for something I wouldn't even feed a dog, so I say skip it and move onto something on Lincoln Blvd or even the Deli/Dinner on Ocean Drive three blocks down from what I think should be the door of SHAME.

    PS. Jeff - SHAME on you for not responding to a very unhappy customer from your own neck of the woods.
