01/22/2010 - disappointed
A few friends and I dined at BCB last night for restaurant week and were tremendously disappointed. This was my 4th visit to the restaurant and most certainly my last. For the 1st course I ordered the shrimp and cabbage egg roll. This was well balanced and definitely the highlight of the meal. The second course-- roasted fennel salad with olives--turned out to be mostly lettuce with a few very small and very bland pieces of fennel and far too many olives. My entree was sausage and apple stuffed quail with chickpee mash. Absolutely terrible! The quail was extremely dry and had a stale--almost musty--flavor, and I couldn't get past the second bite of the chickpea mash. To say it tasted like a mix of canned chickpeas mixed with ketchup and canned carrots that had been opened and left in the refrigerator for a week would be romanticizing this side dish. The portion of quail was tiny--which, at this point, was fine with me. I doubt I would have wanted to eat any more of it.
Lastly, the restaurant week menu featured 2 dessert options: Banana Nut Chocolate Egg Rolls, or Pineapple Tarte Tatin. Our server informed us they were completely out of the Banana Nut Egg Rolls, but we could substitute Butterscotch Pudding. I had the pudding, while my friends all opted for the tarte tatin. The pudding was ok--unremarkable, but far better than my entree. The tarte tatin, however, was hands down the worst dessert I've had at a restaurant. Soggy, greasy, and so sickeningly sweet I could hardly swallow the bite I had.
At one point, our server brought the wrong glass of wine to the table. Pinot Noir instead of Zinfandel. No bid deal. My friend said she would go ahead and taste the pinot noir--after all it had already been served to her, she had already smelled the wine-- and if she liked it, she would just drink that instead. No point in having to throw out a perfectly good glass of wine, right? Oh, but the server said that she actually wouldn't throw it out, she would serve it to someone else--she had a few other guests drinking pinot noir. !!!! I don't know about any one else, but I for one do not want to be served a glass of wine someone at another table had already put her nose in!
I will say, the very first time we ate at BCB was great! However, that was when the restaurant first opened. The 3 subsequent times we have eaten there have gotten progressively worse, with last night's dinner permanently removing this restaurant from our list of restaurants at which to dine.
