So we finally sucked it up and tried Nectar the other night. Verdict? Underwhelming.
We’ve been to Habichuela, Trotters, La Pigua and the (fantastic) Hacienda Xcanatun. These are all better – at Nectar, it felt like the chef had just phoned it in. Four pasta dishes? on a high end menu? Puhlease! Also, at least 5 dishes featured goat cheese (including one of the 3 desserts on offer. This place needs a pastry chef, badly). Was there a sale on chevre at Costco or something?! At these prices, some bread, an amuse bouche or galleta or two with the apres dinner espresso would have been nice…
Having said that, the service was flawless and the smoking section in the outdoor seating area is a bonus (as is the cigar ashtray for those needing it!)
The chef does a tasting menu once a month, which may be where he puts all his training to good use, but the next time we’re going to drop a benjamin on dinner, we’ll go elsewhere.
