What a disappointment... In terms of food and service.  We also did \""\u00e8\"" a few months ago so we knew the gin and tonic would be good...which it was with its cool globe shaped ice cube...\n\nNow food... The only things we thought were really good were the veal checks.. Very tender and soft.. And also the cannelloni noodle with the pork filing.. Very rich but good.  \n\nThe tomato bread seemed soggy.. The croquettes (while served in a playful shoe) were only ok... The bacalao empanadas were like fried greasy wontons.  The asparagus was tender but only tasty if u dipped it in the sauce it came with which wasn't enough Togo around. We had a sample of the lobster paella ... The rice was dry and tasteless, lobster was overdone... So glad we didn't order it.\n\nNow service...there was some major disconnect between the server and other servers as well as with us.. Moreso than I have ever seen before at a restaurant.\nOur first round of ordering I ordered a dish that never came.. So when we asked about he he was like \""oh, I wasn't sure if you wanted me to put it in\""... Then when we said \""yeah.. We do\""..  He was like \""oh actually, well the chef wasn't happy with this dish tonight so we suggest you try another dish similar to that\"".... Ok.... But it was weird he never told us this.\n\nNext time he said \""we have lobster paella now but later they are making shortrib paella\"". We said we would like the short rib paella when it comes out..and then ordered some other dishes. Meanwhile a waitress comes by 15 min later with a plate and says \""the waiter said you were interested in the paella so here is a sample of the lobster paella\"". We tasted it and thought \""meh, glad we ordered the shortrib cuz this isn't that good\"". Meanwhile other small plates come out and we said \""oh is the short rib paella coming still?\"". Then he was like all \""oh I wasn't sure if you wanted it\"" and we were like yeah we ordered the shortrib... He's like \""oh but didn't the waitress give you a sample,\"". We were very confused.. He said \""oh the chefs decided to go with lobster all night and not do the short rib\""...  Ok.... Why didn't you tell us this when we clearly ordered it?? \n\nSo much confusion... So awkward... And so overpriced. The dishes were not that well executed and staff seemed not well-meshed. I thought maybe when we were seated at the bar before our reservation at \""\u00e8\"" that it was awkward that they forgot about us and we got seated to \""\u00e9\"" late (even though we were very early).. But apparently staff disconnect is a common theme here....
