First of all phones are now routed to the Forum blvd. location but they did not tell us that when we called to try and make reservations. Instead they insturcted us to show up prior to 6:00 because business picked up at that time with no reference to the downtown location now being closed for private parties. Consequently we showed up at the downtown location to find out SOMEBODY had not indicated we were speaking with the location on Forum blvd.

Second... steaks were not cooked to requested temperatures. As a cook I understand it's better to undercook than overcook BUT the difference beween medium rare and medium well is self evident and practiced evey night by back yard bbq-ing non professionals.

Last but most important is classical menu writing without a heads up that some creative culinarian took license to break a 100 year old rule.
If you look up the recipe that was reputedly named for the King of Sweden, you see the item dredged in flour seasoned with salt and pepper and not spicy in the style of Rick Bayless.
Anything Oscar means by the book and I teach if you list a classical name and change the game plan you put quotes around that name and use menu copy or your waitstaff to explain what you did differently.
Simply put, anything Oscar IS NOT spicy.

My husband & I wanted to have a nice dinner, it was around 8:00 on a Thursday evening. I ordered a sirlon, they were out, I ordered a rib-eye they were out. I finally asked what they did have and it was very limited there was basically one KC strip and no prime rib.
