A DISAPPOINTED & UNPLEASANT DINING EXPERIENCEThe Setting:The tables in the dining room were completely bare without a table cloth or a center piece. We understand the place wanted to display the solid wooden table, however, it was a Valentine's Day weekend and it didn't even have any décor or at least a candle on the table. The room had the cold and empty feeling, not an ambience that we were looking for at a 2-Michelin Star restaurant, especially on such a high-profile weekend. The Service:From the beginning, as we were going through the wine list and before we even get the chance to order the wine, they instantly brought out the first course, the Grilled Seaweed Bread. It was two small pieces of toast, the side of a biscotti, served on a single small plate, not two separate plates. We were REALLY confused because normally the restaurant would bring out a palate cleanser for guest before starting their meals. We had to wait for the wine and by the time we touched the bread, it was already cold and dried.Secondly, when we're just finished the first course, they took the plate away and less than a few minutes, they right away brought out the second course. We felt really rush. It felt like the kitchen already made the dishes and the server automatically brought one out after another like robots, not giving the guests a chance to digest, relax and enjoy the evening. When it was time for the desert course, our server did not even ask if we would like any coffee or port, instead the desert was just brought out to us without any questions. Unbelievable!The Food:The main reason we chose COI because it listed as Californian-French cuisine restaurant. But it turned out all the dishes tasted like Asian Fusion or Mediterranean cuisine, we were shocked. There's nothing French about any of the dishes that were served that night. There's a strong Japanese influence on most of the dishes.Worse yet, our main course, Roasted Duck Crusted in Spices and Seeds, were cooked close to medium rare. We asked the server to bring it back to the kitchen and when it came out the second time, there was still blood dripping when we cut into it. My friend couldn't eat and skipped that main course. When we talked to the manager, John, at the end of the evening, he informed us that the dish is normally served rare. Yet, we were neither informed nor asked how we would like our duck to be cooked prior serving it.Overall, COI tops our list of disappointed dining experiences. The food was mediocre to basic, the ambience was cold and the service was not up to par. Never have we ever left a main course untouched at a restaurant, let alone at a Michelin-rated one, but we did at COI. For the price of $250/person, we felt cheated. COI to us is an imposter of fine dining and Michelin-rated venue. If you have not tried COI, please DON'T, it's not worth the time nor the money.
