  Great lunch here. All the employees were very personable and helpful. The food was delicious. My mandarin salad was amazing. The gnocchi was superb. Drinks were well mixed and delicious. I wish i had remembered to photograph them. Plenty of vegetarian options available.

  I made a Valentine’s Day reservation for my family of four through OpenTable after reviewing the restaurant’s regular menu online, which showed a variety of pastas, steak, and seafood. There was no mention of a prix-fixe menu when booking, so we were surprised to learn upon arrival that only a set menu was being offered. At 9 PM on Valentine’s night, we had no real option but to stay. The prix-fixe included an appetizer, entrée, and dessert (the price was not listed on the menu we were given). The food came out extremely fast, making it obvious it had been pre-prepared. The lobster bisque was cold, the crab-stuffed calamari was fishy and inedible, and the tomato carpaccio was plain, unseasoned slices of tomato with basic store bought stale toast. Before we could finish our appetizers, the main courses arrived and we had to clear space on the table. The braised short rib was a very small, mediocre portion (comparable to catered banquet hall food). The lobster ravioli was served at room temperature and overloaded with sauce. Desserts were equally disappointing. We left still hungry (my husband actually stopped for a cheeseburger on the way home!) The biggest issue was the price: $90 per person, which was never disclosed during booking and is far above the $21–$48 entrée range shown online. For a family of four, the bill was $360 (not including drinks) before tax and tip. By far the most we’ve ever paid for a meal, and easily the worst dining experience we’ve had. To make matters worse, the restaurant later marked our reservation as a “no show” on OpenTable, even though we dined there and paid. I’ve contacted OpenTable to correct it, but that added to an already disappointing experience.

  If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. I understand that on Valentine’s Day restaurants may shorten the menu to handle the rush that’s completely reasonable but what I didn’t expect was for the portions to shrink to almost nothing while the prices doubled. It honestly felt like we were paying holiday pricing for tasting menu bites without the quality to justify it. We started with the lamb croquettes. Flavor wise, they were actually good, which makes it even more disappointing because they were literally the size of ping pong balls and there were only two. Two tiny bites for an “appetizer” is wild. My girlfriend ordered the tomato carpaccio (or whatever they called it), and I wouldn’t even consider it an appetizer it was basically a snack. It came with two pieces of bread that were closer to crackers than actual bread, two paper thin tomato slices, and a small portion of burrata with a tiny drop of pesto. That was it. Calling that a starter feels generous. For my entrée, I ordered the short rib, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it was about four bites of very mediocre meat sitting on a small scoop of mashed potatoes. Nothing about it justified the price or the hype. She also ordered the lobster ravioli. The flavor was actually good, which almost made it more frustrating because the “lobster” inside was about the size of a shrimp, and the entire dish was gone in just a few bites. It could’ve been a great meal if there had simply been an actual portion to enjoy. In the end, we paid around $300 for laughably small plates and underwhelming quality. Valentine’s Day is supposed to feel special, not like you’re being upsold on tiny portions and inflated prices. We left still hungry and honestly feeling taken advantage of.

  Habíamos visitado el restaurante en varias ocasiones y siempre tuvimos una excelente experiencia. Sin embargo, la atención del día de hoy dejó mucho que desear. A pesar de haber realizado una reservación, al llegar no tenían nuestra mesa disponible, nos dijeron para sentarnos en la barra. Una vez que nos sentamos, no contábamos ni siquiera con cubiertos. Tampoco se nos informó previamente sobre el precio ni sobre el menú especial del día. Los platos servidos eran muy pequeños y terminamos pagando más de $250 por pollo y puré de papas, lo cual nos pareció excesivo considerando la porción y la falta de información previa. Quedé completamente decepcionada, ya que al menos esperaba encontrar el menú habitual o, como mínimo, haber sido notificada de los cambios al momento de hacer la reservación.
