The Portico By Jeffrey Thompson - Lenox

Phenomena experience! Exceptional service and the courses were delightful. A unique culinary experience from beginning to end. Beautiful terrain, atmosphere and more! We celebrated my beautiful wife's birthday and the servers went beyond and beyond to feel them especially on their special day. Can't wait to come back!

The food was greed. The foie gras was from a can. The only desert elections were Sorbets. The waiters wore polyester suits and their id tags were cheap and tricky. There were plastic covers on the tables. Many feelings and back and forth deliver food, but no taste to everything. $600 dinner for 2; a big break; All smoke and mirrors. These prices deserve taste and attention to detail.

We took the Prix Fixe menu. Overall we had a great experience. The kitchen is gastronomic and compares with a Michelin star restaurant. But it was a little too ambitious for my taste with too many flavors. Another disappointment was the microdosing of the sides that made them too subtle to be appreciated. On the other hand, the service lacked training and attention. Although considering, our waiters do not meet our expectations due to several faux pas. First, the best places were missed all the time. Next, when I brought the rabbit, my waiter left without removing the cloche. Fortunately, the other waiter noticed my embarrassment and removed it. Then our waiters mixed water in our glasses, filled with sparkling water, even though we told him before waiting. Finally, the description of the dishes was too laconic. The atmosphere and the settings were great, but the cutlery was a bit cheap for this kind of space. Especially the Laguiole knife I got for the Venison was of poor quality, had no teeth and could not the meat beside the bone.

If you are looking for a fine culinary experience, don't look anymore. What an experience for the holidays with their beautiful decor inside and outside. My food was fantastic and I still think about the Arugula salad and pasta. The service was more than ovarian to make sure you enjoy yourself. We loved our night so much that we tried to work our way back before we finished our journey. This place is not to be approved. Absolutely exquisite venue.

I would be more forgiving of the mediocre service and food if the staff weren?t so pretentious.
