  When they don’t seat 3 of you for 2 hours because they are full - even though 50% of the restaurant is empty They serve pasta with nothing but cheese on it and your toddler won’t eat it - yet they charge $25 for it Then there is the ponytailed server and who won’t hear you or pretend to hear you on the heater, delay on the food or anything else but the bill Your family pays 200 and walks out hungry, go to this place if you would like to have such an experience and ruin your night paying too much

  Food and drinks were good. Staff was friendly. The steak was cook perfectly and the ambiance at the patio was great. It has good selection of wines. Parking is by paid valet and it isn't cheap, so come prepared or walk from nearby street parking. Cocktails were good too. Overall a good experience.

  MAYBE a step up from Olive Garden?? Beautiful atmosphere, ridiculous prices for the quality (mediocre "Italian"-American food), service is bizarre (10 waiters coming at you...?). Food: Artichokes - Carciofi alla Giudia - are named like the Roman dish but don't resemble it in the least. Really overpriced - $16 for two small artichoke hearts, which were not properly trimmed and had so many inedible hard pieces on them. Broccolini wasn't cooked, basically raw but had been briefly steamed to get a nice color - it was inedible and also had not been properly trimmed. Spinach was BLAND as hell, no salt, no garlic, no taste, served as super large unchopped leaves with woody stems intact. Total fail on vegetables, which was a shame because that was my meal. Vegetarian options are very limited. The pasta with vodka sauce on the Contorni menu was actually the best thing. But Contorni means sides, and means veggies. Put this on the Primi part of the menu. It doesn't seem as if anyone there has been to Italy. Misticanza salad was weirdly bland as well, but my husband's order came out as a huge portion that fed plenty of salad to all of us (only wish it had tasted better). Wine - the Fiano was very tasty, but the waiter poured giant glasses for three of us - then came back and emptied the rest of the bottle into one person's glass, leaving us without any. He said no problem and proffered another bottle - clearly a tactic to get us to buy multiple bottles of wine. This is NOT a fine dining establishment, just happens to exist in a nice building. Definitely not worth the over $450 bill for four people and three entrees.

  This was the most mid fine dining I’ve ever had. My girlfriend and I went for her birthday and while the place looked nice, everything we had was so overpriced and mediocre. I’ve been to Perry’s Steakhouse and not even paid as much as we did here. They give you some pizza bread as an appetizer that looks like it was from some pizza they had left over from the day before. I was taken back when I saw it because it was so unappealing. We tried the steak, a pasta, some appetizer with prosciutto, got two drinks each and I tried some fish. The bill was over $300. The waiter we had was polite but I wouldn’t waste my time going here again because of the food. Idk if there are good reviews just because of the service or the ambience but I think people just be lying because of the aesthetics. That’s my hot take on this place. Thanks for reading.
