    We went for NYE dinner, but it was early and not busy because I was aiming for no impact to service or food quality. This was not the case, we bought the pre-fix menu because I hoped Jose Andres’ name lived up to the work that he does. We were completely upset about the food, service, and timing of wine for the “wine experience”. It felt like we were being pushed out the door from the start. It makes me not want to go to his other restaurants even though I truly appreciate what he stands for.

    I thought the overall service was great. But the food runner was dis-jointed with our waiter. I don't think I received the correct main course.
