    We ordered a couple of apps, the scallops and the burrata, neither of which stood out as great. The stand out(not in a good way) was the every Friday special - fried chicken. Talk about bland- the breading was off putting, it had a crunch but it was thick and extremely dense, it reminded me of a 24hr diner fried chicken, the one you order at 3 in the morning - all it was missing was the grease and I wish it had some. The gravy on the mashed potatoes tasted like McCormick’s brown gravy, the $8 add on of biscuits and honey butter was also lacking, I don’t want a biscuit to be hard all the way around, while light and fluffy in the middle, it was also bland AF, needed I don’t know buttermilk for starters. (Go see Brenda’s soul food for a great biscuit and better fried chicken) Just not what you would expect to get from a quality establishment. The table next to me had the exact same complaints about their fried chicken and biscuits. So it wasn’t just me and it wasn’t just one bad plate. Also, the lemon pudding cake was bad, it was a rift on lemon meringue but it fell short and is not a good dessert. It tasted like I picked a lemon off my tree and took a bite out of it, only it was in “cake” form. I appreciate the attempt to recreate a dessert, but keep tweaking the recipe. The service is great. I know my comments are harsh, but it was an honest assessment of the food we ordered.

    Everything was wonderful. From the minute we walked in the door. We were greeted by smiling welcoming staff, which was consistent throughout our dinning experience. We had several starters, which are all very good. The duck was fantastic as was the bread with the sweet creamy butter. Perfection. Sommelier was wonderful with his recommendations and we enjoyed ALL our wine.

    Solid experience, we would have loved more suggestions from our server but the selections we chose were delicious! Our favorite was the chicken wings with caviar ranch we had to start and the La Aurora cocktail was delicious!

    Burrata, scallops and fried chicken were so delicious. Pana Cotta was like rubber though.

    Prospect is one of our favorites in the City. This last visit was amazing with their newly added oysters Rockefeller on the menu.
