   This is a difficult review to write. While the food and service is exceptional. The experience was very disappointing. Ordering a chefs tasting menu of the caliber of Chef Ford comes with high expectations and anticipation. And you expect to get what you pay for— we did not. The cadence of the second half of the menu was slow and uneven with no explanation. Our wine ran out when I asked the waiter what was going on he said he would speak to the manager. Wine was then suggested, offered and poured clearly to be complimentary: it was not! Two glasses of fine red wine offered by the manager and appeared on the bill for $68.00. This was no error; you can read other reviews and hear the same story of the Michelin starred restaurant. Let me close by suggesting for wonderful and impressive dining experience try Joe Andreas Baazar, Thomas Keller Surf Club or Jean-Georges Vongerichten Matador Room. All will deliver memorable experiences. Chef Ford, we will not return to your restaurant.

   We had the a la carte option, and were underwhelmed with the originality and taste of a number of the dishes. The truffled bravas were decent but not especially tasty, the foie gras was poor (watery and acidic- and it should be neither). The truffled chicken was tasty, while the swordfish we had was well cooked but not especially flavorful (corn jus excepted). In the peanut candy bar dessert the amazing banana ice cream showed up the rest of the dessert as sub par.

   Perfect place for a nite out with my wife. We got an early dinner reservation (6:15pm) to ensure sufficient time to eat, drink and talk. Food was amazing, and so was the service. We didn’t get any cocktails but we got an excellent bottle of wine and a five dishes as dinner. Would recommend it and will get back soon Thanks Stubborn Seed for such an amazing evening and experience… FA

   Not what I was expecting, especially for the price. Not a Michelin experience at all. Drawn out, not good music. The food was mediocre. Just not worth the chefs experience.

    We chose this restaurant and the Chef’s tasting for our 25th anniversary dinner. This was the first time we had eaten at a Michelin Star restaurant. The food was incredible! We have eaten food this good in our entire lives, and I’m a foodie. There were things in the courses I never would’ve ordered in a million years, but to much my surprise things like raw oysters and raw tuna were absolutely mouth watering. The service was good, but we had so many it was dizzying. The drinks from the bar were top notch and prepared very well. This night will be a night to remember for my husband and I.

    My husband and I went here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We enjoyed every moment. We chose the tasting menu option and did not regret it. The eight dishes and dessert were delectable, and paired with an amazing selection of champagnes and wines. The staff was very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Stubborn Seed to anyone who wants to treat themselves to a very special meal.

    We had a great meal at Stubborn Seed, we decided on the tasting menu and every course was delicious and had exciting and unique touches. Service was impeccable with menus with our name and celebration for the evening. We went expecting it but every cocktail we tried was amazing, probably the best I've ever had.

    Absolutely flawless, start to finish. Every dish was inventive but accessible. So many unexpected accents to each dish, and yet everything worked together incredibly well. Literally the only complaint is that it was loud in there; concrete floors, high ceilings, and no sound dampeners. It wasn’t off putting, but it did make it challenging to have a conversation. Honestly, though, it was fairly easy to ignore once the food started coming out. Just don’t expect to have a quiet, intimate conversation, heh. But I would go here a million times if I could afford to do so. Definitely a fabulous special occasion / dinner out with friends kind of place. LOVED it.

    We had the set weekend menu. The food was very good, we were first seated in the bar area on some very uncomfortable benches. After talking to the manager he was able to move us midway into our meal to the dining room at a regular table which made the dinner much more enjoyable able.

    We went for dinner on a Thursday night. We started with a bottle of wine and the pickles and Cheese Puffs appetizers. The Bread was light and delicious. It melted in your mouth. Then we ordered the Crunchy Truffle Bravas. These were small fried potatoes that were delicious. We also had the Yellowfin Tuna that came with this cream sauce that was to die for. It’s a very small portion. So I suggest each person order their own. It comes with a small bowl of lavender and oranges that smells very good. We then had the Truffle Chicken for the main course. For dessert we shared a strawberry cake. This was more than enough food for 2 people. The restaurant filled up fast and the service was excellent. Also Jeremy Ford was there working in the kitchen.

    The food is really good, and for the quality reasonable prices, but the loud music (hard rock) ruined the dinner. Almost unbearable, and it is a shame because the place has a great potential. Hope they change this

    Really great flavors. Some things were a little peppery. The lady at the table next to me took a bite of the lamb and started coughing right away. Pros: tasty, innovative, thoughtful Cons: surprise tasting menu is intractable. They asked for allergies and i mentioned that I absolutely did not eat swordfish and the waiter said he would ask. Low and behold, the swordfish was served. I couldn’t eat it. I just felt badly because I hate food waste and the entire dish was discarded. They did give us a torchon of foie that was lovely. Overall would return but would not repeat the surprise tasting menu unless you’re ready for a lot of food and no changes.
