I am beginning to wonder if finer restaurants are starting to rest on their reputations. I think most people wouldn't even notice.
Date and I went to one of Boston's best restaurants, Ocean Prime. I'll spare all of the (many) details of how the night was subpar, but I was literally astonished at the $70 bone-in ribeye placed in front of me, ordered rare with a very hot sear. It was supposed to be prime, it was certainly choice, and whoever butchered it left the silverskin in between the cap and the eye. It looked like it had been thrown on a flat top griddle at the local diner and let sit there a few minutes. It was sent back. And the whole experience was closer to Applebee's than a top tier restaurant. This sort of thing seems to be happening more and more when I go out.
