Alex H Restaurant

The driest meat ever. Sent back once– received profuse apologies. Second round was equally dry. for $ 30/​plate, it was a massive failure and really a bummer.
The starters were fine.
Really, at this price point, you can truly do much better almost anywhere.

This really should be a 2-​star review, but I have been to this restaurant before and have had pretty good food, so I can’t, in good faith, give them 2-​stars based on this one fail. On the other hand, I can’t leave it at 4-​stars when clearly there is some improvements needed.
Maybe it was because it was still using a Valentine menu, but I found the food choices to be lack-​luster and boring. My duck was extremely thick salty (like the sauce may have been sitting too long) and the coquilles Valentine (with lobster), though passable, seemed to have been made with instant potatoes, I don’t think they were instant (or at least I hop they weren’t), but that was what the texture reminded me of.
The service was pretty much non-​existent. My waitress didn’t even come over once during our meal, and I actively sought her out to complain about the duck. Too bad, it was pretty good the last time I visited, but this was a disaster!
Even though I am updating this review with a penalization of 1-​stars, I will go back again when there is no special menu and HOPEFULLY, be able to re-​instate their rating.
