"The lamb bologonese was very tasty, but the noodles were seriously undercooked and cold. The seared ahi was also undercooked, more like sashimi. However, the ambiance was wonderful."

"Zagat's gave the food a very good rating. We agree. The food was great. One item modified our overall experience. The service was not professional and we were seated at one of the two tables that a good restaurant would not have had. At least one person at one of these tables faced a door where the wait staff used constantly. The door was a major distraction. I put up with it as we were couple and knew we had a last minute reservation. Three different parties were seated at table for four. And all three asked to be moved. In some cases the move was a distraction. I wondered how a restaurant that had great food could allow a "ambiance" disaster."

"It was an excellent experience. The food was cooked to absolute perfection, the wine our server recommended paired perfectly with the entrees we ordered and the atmosphere was superb. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend is already making plans to head back there for our anniversary."

"We had a great time at the restaurant. It was for valentines day, so they served a set menu. Everything that we had was delicious. The tuna was seared perfectly. The rose at the end was a lovely touch."

"This was my second visit and I brought my sisters to have a wonderful experience...but I was disappointed. I ordered a drink before dinner that I had to cancel because it did not come before dinner. I wanted my sisters to experience the lighted menus and we did not receive them until I insisted. I was told that she was holding them for a large group that was enroute. I requested that we use them until the large group arrived. The food was great as before...."
