    In brief: Inconsistent. Service friendly but inattentive. We started off with a pear and prosciutto salad which was excellent. Pears were perfect. Candied pecans were crunchy and not overwhelmingly sweet, plenty of salty prosciutto to balance the pecan, a bed of mixed leaves and a creamy, herby dressing that drew everything together. My companion had filet mignon with chimichurri sauce that they loved. I had the Park Burger which was very greasy. I tried to tell the server when she came over but while she responded brightly to my companion’s appreciation she whirled around and left as I was saying my burger was not good. Even though my burger was pushed to one side uneaten while my companion was over halfway through their steak. By the time anyone else came near the table we’d been finished for a while and I did not want a replacement. Nevertheless, when the busser asked how it was I said “Not great” but he was also not expecting anything but positive comments and did not acknowledge my comment. We had desert - a chocolate tart and a crème brûlée. The tart was unremarkable but pleasant. Chocolate pastry with a nice chocolate mousse. The crème brûlée had a vaguely warm crust with a cold and curdled custard, we did not eat it. No one came to ask us how it was until my companion had finished the tart. Our server, again, was only anticipating positive comments and I had to repeat myself fairly loudly to draw her attention to the dessert. She was on the ball when she realised I wasn’t happy and immediately offered me something else (but I was not in the mood to eat while my companion watched). She was apologetic and took it off the bill. Someone from the kitchen came out and apologized too. So it was dealt with well once it was pointed out. But overall I had a poor meal because of both the food and the service.

    Either the server or the kitchen ignores any special requests from the diners, such as extra lemon for the calamari or extra sauerkraut on the Rueben.
