"I found the food very average. I consider a restaurant good if they offer me something I can't just make at home. They gave me a bland pasta dish with sauce that wasn't much better than Ragu. It also came out in just 5-mins, so I really have to question how fresh it was. For the money, it was a big let down. I've had far better meals for a lot less money."

"My wife and I had the chef tasting with the wine pairing and the portions were a little too big but the food was delicious. The win pairings were very good and our waiter wrote down the names of 2 wines we had as we wanted to some for ourselves. Service was excellent and our waiter was very well informed."

"A special was lamb steak. 2 provided. One taken home. Turned out that one was very fatty - likely more than 50%. First one, eaten in restaurant, had its share of fat as well. Expensive dish, and turned out not a whole lot of lamb. Felt somewhat ripped off."

"The past was good but do not recommend ordering the 1/2 portion, they charge 80% of the cost of the full portion. And the full portion looks like the 1/2 expect in a much larger plate. Overall the it was not worth it's value. I would not go back."

"First time here. The food was excellant. The service was a bit slow but the food more than made up for it. There is a guitar player who plays in the room as well. We came here due to the restaurant week menu but will definatly be back. The portions were very generous and food was delicious."
