点评:We have been dining Itasca for years. It has always been one of our favorite restaurants. Saturday night got off to a rocky start, as the reservation that I made an open table the restaurant did not have. We were told the reservation had been canceled by me. The host was gracious and said that they would be able to see us anyway. Shortly after I received an email stating that the reservation has been canceled by the restaurant, and then my open table seating confirmation follow that so not sure exactly what happened.
We proceeded to order a pre-dinner cocktail, which is what we always do. We were then serve the cocktail and told there would be a 90 minute limit to the table. We proceeded to tell the host that we would like to enjoy a cocktail, and our dinner, with a bottle of wine, a little hard to do in 90 minutes. we have never been told there was a limit on the table. In all the years we have been going there, the server said she would check, returned, and told us that we would be able to enjoy our dinner and our wine, even if it won’t be on the 90 minutes.
We proceeded to order our dinner, which included the fried oysters, which are exceptional! We have had fried oysters in many restaurants, never as good as Tosca‘s. I ordered the salmon, which was cooked perfectly with delicious of compliments. My husband ordered one of the pasta dishes which was equally as delicious. we ordered the apple dessert which was served warm, very enjoyable.
Unfortunately, my husband did not notice until we had already got home when he looked at the bill to find that the cocktails were $38. $20 for a kettle one Cosmo and $18 for a regular lemon drop martini. I have been to many fine, dining, restaurants, and Connecticut and never paid this much for a cocktail. Even at a high-end restaurant I expect $16 would be the max, most cocktails run between 10 and $13. Not sure what is going on Itasca, but the experience is not the same as it has been in the past.
The food is delicious, you decide whether you want to skip the cocktails and just have dinner
翻译:我们多年来一直在 Itasca 用餐。它一直是我们最喜欢的餐厅之一。周六晚上的开局并不顺利,因为我预订的开放式餐桌餐厅没有。我们被告知预订已被我取消。主人很客气,说无论如何他们都能见到我们。不久后,我收到一封电子邮件,说明餐厅已取消预订,然后我就确认了空桌座位,所以不确定到底发生了什么。
我们继续点了一杯餐前鸡尾酒,这是我们一直做的。然后我们端上鸡尾酒,并被告知餐桌有 90 分钟的限制。我们接着告诉主人我们想喝一杯鸡尾酒,我们的晚餐,还有一瓶酒,在90分钟内有点难完成。我们从未被告知餐桌上有限制。这些年来我们一直去那里,服务员说她会检查,回来后告诉我们,我们将能够享受我们的晚餐和我们的酒,即使不是在 90 分钟内。
我们继续点了晚餐,其中包括炸牡蛎,非常棒!我们在很多餐馆吃过炸牡蛎,但从来没有像托斯卡的那样好吃。我点了三文鱼,煮得很完美,美味可口。我丈夫点了一份意大利面食,同样美味。我们点了苹果甜点,热乎乎的,非常过瘾。
不幸的是,我丈夫直到我们回到家才注意到,他查看账单时发现鸡尾酒是 38 美元。一壶 Cosmo 20 美元,一杯普通柠檬马提尼 18 美元。我去过很多精致的餐厅、餐厅和康涅狄格州,但从来没有花这么多钱买一杯鸡尾酒。即使在高档餐厅,我预计最高价格为 16 美元,大多数鸡尾酒的价格在 10 至 13 美元之间。不确定 Itasca 发生了什么,但体验与过去不一样。
食物很美味,你可以决定是否不喝鸡尾酒而只吃晚餐
