   I really love this restaurant and the hotel is excellent. We’ve gone there since it opened and even participated in some of their events. For example the James beard foundation event. Which was great and super accommodating for an allergy I have. Unfortunately I am not sure if the chef for Bacan has changed or the quality of food budget has been cut. I am not a complainer but as a restaurateur myself I would want to know. We made a reservation and got there about 20 minutes early. We checked in with the host and went to the bar 5 feet away from her. Waited and nothing , passed our res time 20 minutes are so and I see other tables after us being sat. So I questioned the host, who also went to the people around us and grabbed them for their table, She let me know she texted us but had a problem. We were right in front of her so I dont understand why she didnt come to us if she had an issue. She came and got other tables. Once we finally got sat we had the waiter we had previously and he is amazing at his job. He took good care of us and even tried to make up for the mishap. Just a real gentlemen. Unfortunately the food was not as impressive as it has been in the past and I mean by a lot. Lack of seasoning on everything. The flavors were less than average in most dishes. The only stand out was the carne asada this time but only the rest sadly was just not that great. More than that it just wasn’t the standard we come to know this restaurant for. Which I understand how high the bar is too reach day after day but we as chefs have too challenge ourselves daily. This job is only for those, at this level, that hold themselves to an incredible standard most us would not understand. On special note is to the chef or managers, whoever sold you that boneless lamb rack please from one chef to another never purchase it again. Lamb rack even if it’s cooked med well should still be tender. I ordered med rare, came out mid well but this was not good lamb and very tough.

   Food, wine, and experience was fantastic! Alexander gave a great wine reference. Highly recommend getting a few starters to get the meal off the right way!

   Everything we ordered tasted very good and the only problem was the slow service. Maybe it was our fault because we decided to eat outside in the garden and 95% of what was going on was inside. All I know is that we had to wait a very long time for the waiter to come outside Especially near the end while we were waiting for the check to be picked up. We had to ask another waiter to take it in for us.

   The service at this restaurant was excellent – the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. However, the food, although acceptable, is nothing special. The bread they now serve is a clear downgrade compared to what they used to offer, and they’ve removed the foie gras from the menu, which used to be spectacular and a highlight of the dining experience. For the price, I expected more in terms of quality and variety. While the ambiance and service remain great, the changes to the menu and the food quality don’t justify the high cost.
