🤢 2/5 - Massively Disappointing

Dinner at XO Restaurant was massively disappointing and one of my worst restaurant experiences. The menu is set up as a family style tasting menu with seven courses and it shouldn’t be. The quality of the each course ranged from decent to very bad and is definitely not what you would expect from a tasting menu, which ended up costing over $200 for two people. I would recommend they change their menu to allow for customers to order stand-alone dishes rather than committing to an expensive and massive tasting menu. The first course we tried was the Beet Lotus, Emulsified Chimichurri, Shiso Gel, Quinoa. The dish was ok but forgettable. Soft beet patties were topped with crisp radish slices, crunchy quinoa, and a bland chimichurri sauce. The second course was actually pretty good. The Oxtail XLB (Soup Dumpling), Truffle, Parmesan, which required an upcharge from the tasting menu, featured warm soft savory dumplings filled with rich juicy tender oxtail. However, the third course of Foie Gras, Salt Roasted Crispy Rice, Gravy, which was supposed to be a specialty of the restaurant, was very average. Basically crisped rice was topped with a slab of foie gras. The dish felt like it was missing something important and was an underwhelming use of the foie gras. The fourth course, Seared Scallop, Mussel Sinigang, Crispy Kale, was very bad. The scallops were very chewy and seemed like they were starting to go bad and paired with flavorless crisp kale and Brussels sprouts. The fifth course, Updated Signature Adobo Fried Chicken, 4 Hour Braised Peppercorn Togarashi, was pretty good. Juicy tender chicken was covered in a crisp breading and a creamy flavorful sauce. The sixth course of Kalbi Pork Belly Ssam, Gochujang Aioli, Pickled Relish was also disappointing. The meat was marinated in an overly sweet and smoky sauce. This was some of the worst pork belly I have ever tried. Finally the dessert course of Fluffle of Brown Butter-Bunny-Butter Mochi was enjoyable and basically a warm dense soft lightly sweet pastry. On a positive note our server was very friendly throughout our dinner. Overall, XO Restaurant acts like an upscale fine dining restaurant but serves mostly low quality food at high prices.
