content: Everything about Aureole shouted 'Stale'.   Like they're not even trying anymore.  They didn't even have the Cirque de Soliel style wine server working the cage. \n\nWe had the tasting menu, which is served in a cool way with a split plate with 2 dishes per round served in a different way.  Problem is after 5 courses I'd only say 1-2 were great and many were bland or just outright not good.\n\nGreat sommelier but the rest of the service was atrocious considering we had the biggest table (8+) in the place.   They are heaving on the foams, gelees, and technique but didn't deliver on flavor.\n\nKeep moving, nothing to see here.
