Wow, I just now got home from work and was excited to read all of the responses. I listened to Kevin's review (again) while at work and I have figured out what my problem is - I am one of those with the high expectations. I had high expectations in 2006 and they were met!! So now my experience is not based on the hooplah but on my own experience. I had the filet with mushrooms and the cheddar soup and both were incredible.
It is one thing to try a new restaurant and not like it, but when you find one you like and it fails to meet your expectations that is depressing. Le Cellier is the only restaurant that we visited in 2006 that we rescheduled for 2008.
I understand that to some it is "just dinner" but to me it "IS DINNER" - I love food!! To me part of the fun of a vacation is eating. We visited Boston in November (1st time) and the food was one of the best parts of the trip (lobster, crab, canolis) (makes Red Lobster look like the McDonald's of seafood). The same goes for a recent trip to New York City. To me part of the vacation experience is the food!! I know it will not make or break my trip but I want to make the best choices possible.
Anyway, I guess I still have a little time to ponder. I had not thought about Rose and Crown. We have not eaten there and do not have it on our ADR list. I will have to check out the menu.
Thanks for all of your responses and comments!
