Fairbanks Hall (east side at the head of the canal) is expected to be completed this summer, so that should also provide a lunch-time boost.<BR/><BR/>Still, they better have the kinks worked out by then!CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704477.post-20668784837021126142008-01-16T09:46:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:46:00.000-05:00Oooh, that's too bad.

I was there with about a dozen people on New Year's Eve, and just about everyone had complaints about the food; from large, but taste-devoid shrimp, to overly-salty confit, to mealy/un-creamy risotto (especially bad when compared to the excelent version at Meridian). If only I could do a better Gordon Ramsay impressiion, I had the material for an award-winning rant (You Donkey!.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704477.post-87933126423047532008-01-16T09:16:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:16:00.000-05:00I wouldn't go so far as to believe a Nuvo review c...I wouldn't go so far as to believe a Nuvo review could cause that kind of response, and it's the last one in a long line. (They all seem pretty consistently mixed -- great food with lots of service and front of house bugs.) What I can't understand is why/how Gates isn't frustrated with the overall result. His food certainly isn't the problem. I've yet to be disappointed with a dish there. But the rest of it? Wine/Beer inventory problems? A wine list that's *still* not up to fine dining standards? Really sub-par fine dining service? These guys have had months to get these bugs worked out. And it's impossible not to compare them to Meridian, the other comparable opening this fall that opened effortlessly and smoothly by comparison. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Maybe business hasn't been that bad and Bugg's is doing great! I've certainly been in on some nights when they had more business than they could handle.braingirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159313924554241811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704477.post-38997738181454921672008-01-15T21:25:00.000-05:002008-01-15T21:25:00.000-05:00I believe Buggs' days are limited.
