We did the wine pairings dinner. It was good but portions were very small. It was advertised as an 8 course dinner. There was supposed to be narration and instructions about the wines, but we were in another room and couldn't hear very well, after the first couple of wines we didn't know what we were drinking or why. Also many of the courses, although tasty, were lukewarm by the time we were served. For the stated price of $75 it was not worth it.

I had a very bad experience with a waiter that nearly overshadowed an otherwise wonderful evening.
The staff at the Propylaeum Club is very small, so a problem with a staff member can be a very big deal.
Our waiter was menacing from the start. He smiled with his mouth, but his eyes betrayed his extreme hostility. Nearly all of his comments were dripping with sarcasm ("Whatever makes YOU happy") and he was defensive and inattentive. Our table was served last and my 6-year-old was very hungry. I asked the waiter if he could get my son a roll while we were waiting and he told me that since we had messed up his schedule (we needed our table to be nut free as my 9-year-old has a life-threatening allergy) we would have to wait. I told him that it wasn't my son's fault that he had a nut allergy.
After that, our table was ignored. Our dinner plates were still on the table when the dessert plates were being cleared from other tables and we weren't even offered dessert. My 9-year-old asked our waiter if he could have dessert and the waiter simply smiled and walked away.
This was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant.

The most recent and probably last time I went there my girlfriend & i had a very unprofessional experience. They recently consolidated their menu & took the buffalo chicken pizza away. We asked the kitchen manager if we could still order it & he said
