We felt Course missed the mark on a number of levels this time.
First, the gift card offer. We did not get the bonus $100 card until 3 days after the offer ended. No indication from the email promotion that that was going to be the case. So it left us hanging for several days. Took 5 emails to clarify this. The offer also indicated the gift cards would not cover for taxes. No so. When we used it, the card covered for the meal and the taxes. Marketing Dept needs to do a much better job at handling all this.
We were served by the new bartender, Justin, who had revised the cocktail menu to only describe what each drink might taste like, not the ingredients. This was to encourage diners to choose a cocktail based on taste. But for those of us who have restrictions on certain spirits or ingredients, this makes it impossible for us to order a cocktail, unless he were to explain every cocktail listed. Very disappointing. He also did not know we had diet restrictions. Since the previous servers here always knew that, how come he didn't?
We thought the "Chinese Food" course in the 12 days of Xmas menu missed the mark. Did not taste like Chinese food. Justin commented that Chef Cory is also not a Chinese chef. That's why.
However, he managed to make the Sonoma duck in the next course taste like a Nanking salted duck. Quite a feat of cooking.
The turkey breast was the best turkey breast we've ever had -- moist and full of flavor, very tender.
The Prescott K4 prime rib eye was also perfectly cooked, and beautifully executed with a demi glace, and wonderful baby beets.
The "World's Best Cup of Coffee" (coffee panna cotta) was definitely not impressive. We found it had a deep dark chocolate flavor, but was one-note, and boring after a few bites. Shimogamo's Hojicha panna cotta is much better in flavor and texture.
Overall, not bad, but we miss the previous cocktail menu and the servers up front before a new manager came on board.
