Not the best place to go for BBQ

by 12121211 at Citysearch

I have never written a review before about a restaurant but I had to because it was the worst BBQ I have ever had.

My husband and I went there and we wasted $27.00. We ordered brisket, ribs, turkey and 2 sides. We could not eat anything. The ribs were so fatty, and salty I could not even bite into them. The brisket was 80 % FAT, we got our food tried to eat it and left not too long after. No one even came to see how our meal was.

We are not chain restaurant people and were very excited about having a good BBQ experience, That was not it.

We have had BBQ in many states and this was the worst.

Good food, horrible wait...

The food is excellent. The service is good. The place itself is great. Dining for 3 hours and 45 minutes was shocking and made the experience not so great. Each new course takes 25-30 minutes. Not sure we'd return because of this.

• Pros: food
• Cons: too much time in between courses, expensive

Beware the nay sayers! This place is incredible.

This restaurant is touted as one of the finest in the state...believe it. My wife and I went to the Cookery for a special occasion and we were not disappointed, we were in awe. We came up from the cities for a midweek get away, and kicked it off with a trip to the Cookery. We had the most wonderful time. The staff did a beautiful job arranging the special event, and the food was amazing. This is a place were food is transformed into art. The flavors and textures create compositions. What people need to understand is that the chef is not simply cooking, this is about creating a sensual experience for your palate, so full of originality and creativity that you will want to shake his hand by the time dinner is over. I have read some of the reviews and I am surprised that people are taken aback by the prices. Is it not indicated, clear as day, on the web what dinner a dinner can cost? Isn't the 3,5,& 9 course dining all clearly priced? Total disclosure is what I recall. It is well worth the price for such a delicious experience.

• Pros: Regional ingredients, changing menus, innovative creations, and fine wine list.
• Cons: Distance.

PErfect for a special occasion

by jlettween at Citysearch

The food is incredible. The menu changes with the season, we were there for the garlic menu. My girlfriend does not eat meat except for fish and they were happy to accommodate. We did 5 coures paired with wine. Each course they brought a new glass of wine. The service was what it should be for this kind of restaurant.

• Pros: The food
• Cons: The price

Amazing food

by dialx003 at Citysearch

one of the more pleasurable dining experiences we've had in the cities - Amazing quality of food - European pacing with excellent wine pairings for each course - we never felt rushed and could enjoy each and every taste sensation the kitchen popped our way - highly recommended, even with the drive!

• Pros: excellent food, great wine pairings
