(由 Google 翻译)总结:Copine 的菜品很精美(除了一道——见下文),但说到味道,几乎每道菜都令人失望。这顿饭的大多数方面都令人失望。我给它一星,因为这似乎是顾客在这里经常遇到的问题,而且厨师似乎并没有解决这个问题。
Prefix 套餐起价每人 140 美元,可选加菜需额外付费。我和女朋友情人节那天去了那里,我们每人点了 Prefix 菜单、15 美元的可选第二道菜加菜和一杯鸡尾酒。加上小费,整顿饭大约花了 375 美元。
首先,我要说说优点。服务人员友好周到。菜品很漂亮。我们点的 8 道菜中有 1 道很棒。特别要说一下奶油南瓜意式小方饺——我觉得我一点都不想改变,但我女朋友觉得它有点太咸了。不过,令人失望的是,整顿饭里我吃到的最好的东西竟然是一道加料。
现在来说说缺点。除了我上面重点提到的那道菜之外,其他菜都没有什么突出之处。所有菜都极其平淡无奇。大多数菜都太咸了,而且味道不均衡。最好的例子就是主菜之一——柑橘腌制烟熏奥拉帝王鲑。鲑鱼太咸,柑橘太甜,酱汁尝起来像稀薄的塔塔酱。
我们点的另一道主菜是牛腹肉。这道菜的味道还不错。但对于一家高端餐厅来说,一块硬邦邦的侧腹牛排配上连我(不是专业厨师)都能模仿的酱汁,这实在太不符合我的预期了。
开胃菜和甜点都令人失望,不算差,但也不算太好。我点了巧克力可丽饼配薄荷冰淇淋,味道完全不均衡。薄荷的味道完全盖过了这道菜的其他味道,以至于我宁愿单独吃也不愿和蛋糕一起吃。
瑞士奶酪火锅简直可笑。它配上一杯奶酪、三块意大利熏火腿、三个苹果球和两块面包丁,摆盘却是当晚所有菜品中最懒散的。食材虽然美味,但说实话,它让我想起了自己喝酒后回家会做的菜,我实在太懒了,什么都不想做。看看下面的图片(#4),这难道是你从高端餐厅里吃到的会开心的事吗?说实话,感觉我们花了那么多钱却被嘲笑了。
最后要介绍的菜是生鰤鱼,味道不错,仅此而已。没什么特别之处,味道和你在附近一家普通的日本餐厅里能吃到的其他生鰤鱼差不多,价格大约15美元。
关于这次体验,我最后想说的是,这家餐厅感觉不够高档。餐厅很干净,但感觉非常单调,缺乏个性。入口处的灯光很刺眼,大部分墙壁都比较空旷。
话虽如此,如果这顿饭的价格只有这里的一半,我可能根本不会想到这些评论,但考虑到这个价格,我的期望值要高得多,结果我非常失望地离开了。

TLDR: The dishes at Copine are beautiful (except for 1 - see below), but when it comes to the taste, nearly every dish falls flat on its face. Most aspects of the meal are underwhelming. I rate this 1 star because this seems to be pretty consistent problems patrons have experienced here and it doesn't seem like a problem the chefs have addressed.
The prefix meal started at $140 a person with optional additions for extra cost. My girlfriend and I went for Valentines day where we each got the prefix menu, the optional $15 second course add on, and a cocktail each. Pre-tip the whole meal came out to be around ~$375.
First, I will start with the positives. The service staff was friendly and attentive. The dishes are pretty. 1 of the 8 dishes we had was great. Shout out to the butternut squash agnolotti - I don't think there is a single thing I would've changed about it, but my girlfriend did think it was a little too salty. It is disappointing though that the best thing that I ate the entire meal was an add on though.
Now onto the negatives. Besides the dish I highlighted above, none of the dishes stood out in any positive way. Everything was extremely underwhelming. Most dishes were too salty, and the flavors were unbalanced. The best example of this was the Citrus Cured and Smoked Ora King Salmon - which was one of the main courses. The salmon was too salty, the citrus was too sweet, and the sauce tasted like a runny tartar sauce.
The other main course we got was the Beef Bavette. The flavors on this dish were fine. But for a high end restaurant, serving a tough flank steak with a sauce even I could replicate (not a professional chef) hardly met my expectations.
The starters and deserts were both disappointing, not bad, but not very good either. I got the Chocolate crepe cake with mint ice cream and there was just no balance at all. The mint flavors completely overwhelmed every other taste in the dish when eaten together to the point where I would've just preferred to eat it alone than with the cake.
The Swiss cheese fondue was laughable. It came out with a cup of cheese, 3 pieces of prosciutto, 3 "balls" of apple, and 2 croutons with the laziest presentation of any of the dishes from the night. The ingredients were tasty, but frankly it reminded me of something I would prepare when I get home from a night of drinking, and I am too lazy to cook anything. Just look at the picture below (#4), is this something that you'd be happy if you got from a high end meal? It honestly felt like we were being mocked for paying as much as we did.
The last dish to go over is the Hamachi crudo which was good, and that is about it. Not notable, just tastes like any other Hamachi crudo you could get at a typical Japanese restaurant in the area for ~$15.
The last point I want to make about this experience was the the restaurant did not feel upscale. The restaurant was clean, but it felt very sterile and had no personality. The lighting in the entrance was harsh, and most walls were relatively bare.
With all of this being said, a lot of what I commented on literally wouldn't have crossed my mind if the meal was half as expensive, but for this price, my expectations were much higher and I left sorely disappointed.
