It wasn't that the fexperience was absolutely awful but so out of character that we stopped going for months. We were pleased when we finally did return that things seemed back on track. My disappointment was hugely magnified by my expectations and my faith was only restored when I approached it with lesser esteem. <br /><br />Hope you'll try Blue Hill again in a few months and see if it was an aberrant event!Tangled Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543997083087131116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-22933525521230172532009-04-23T14:30:00.000-04:002009-04-23T14:30:00.000-04:00Spud - perhaps they should have done a potato them...Spud - perhaps they should have done a potato theme that night instead ... complete with potato shakes and all! ;)The Diva on a Diethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336939733516236525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-66403811285586562742009-04-23T08:16:00.000-04:002009-04-23T08:16:00.000-04:00That's an impressive potato chip but so sorry to h...That's an impressive potato chip but so sorry to hear that the rest of the menu did not live up to expectations.

Yes, you read correctly. It's proof God exists.<br /><br />I went to that same restaurant and decided to deviate from the porkchops to a filet mignon, and was sorely disappointed. Like you, I wondered if I wasn't just spoiled from my previous experiences (and the 2 week marinated, melt-in-your-mouth pork that I am addicted to.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-89842270389908951982009-04-22T13:51:00.000-04:002009-04-22T13:51:00.000-04:00Veri - brilliant analogy!

We had huge expectations for this 5-star and although the meal started well, it soon went downhill and the service was just horrible.
