Food was great. However we got there 15 minutes before our reservation and were told to sit at the side bar and have a drink while our table opened. Never had anyone ask us for a drink. Then did not get seated till 5 minutes after our reservation. Then once seated did not have our someone come to our table for another 20 minutes. Service during dinner was ok however again if things are more tentative we would have ordered more food and more drinks was basically the theme of the night. In the end we ate our food and left instead of spending more money at the restaurant.

Sadly, B+V is no longer the culinary experience that it used to be under Chef Chad Gelso. The dishes lack editorial. For example, the beef tallow red onion appetizer was an unappealing quantity of red onions that failed to be transformed by the cooking method or presentation, and actually hid a more delicious smear of whipped ricotta. The hasselback potato accompanying the seared duck weren’t executed correctly, so the layers didn’t open while cooking to crisp individually, leaving a similarly unappetizing log of slightly underdone russet. Desserts okay but felt like they were freelanced. Drinks and service still wowed but the food has lost its panache.

Waited 20 minutes for our table despite having a reservation and then waited over 2 hours for our food. I understand they may have been short staffed but they were not forthcoming about the wait time even after they lost our order.

Appetizers came out quickly and then entrees took an additional 55 minutes for 2 people. The duck was soggy and fatty, with no sear on it. The potatoes were cold on the inside and unseasoned, and looked like they came from a frozen pack. Very disappointing for a $50 entree.
