"I've been lunching at (Insert Name of the Day) for maybe 5 years twice a year. So this will be brief run through of my experience over the years. In the beginning I was astounded by the quality of the cooking for the price. And then the wine list got better. And then the format changed late last/early this year. So for the first visit under the new name, we constructed a meal that looked pretty similar to the old, and the wine list was at its best. And now to the latest visit I'm not a big fan of the new format, but we gave it one last hurrah. The new wine list is simplified to the near minimum, and cheaper than it was. There was nothing wrong with the wine, it was just standard quaffing with no great aspiration, and a price to match. The flat iron steak was well executed, and somebody in the kitchen still knows what they're doing. If they've gone from building an interesting menu (to me at any rate) you wonder if it's still the same person, and what keeps them there now? So the 3 stars is a reflection of what was, to what is, and who knows what the future holds. I just know sadly I won't be part of it, and like all flesh, it's time is done, and we move on."
