    Chelsea is our go-to for dinner before a show at the Grand. The food is good but the menu is limited. I was disappointed that there was no calamari for a starter which had been on the menu in the past. Our server was busy not only waiting on us but working the bar as well. We did manage to get there in time for happy hour but again there was a limited menu for that as well. We didn’t know there were half price starters but in any case our food orders were prepared correctly and the caesar salad was fabulous.

    Our first visit to Ciro. The experience was terrific from start to finish. Reservation was @ 5PM on a Thursday, and we were treated to 'exclusive' service. Chose the tasting menus -- a 'Traditional' and a 'Pescatarian' with wine pairings. Our server was Venu Gaddamidi--a very lucky opportunity for us. Mr Gaddamidi is co-owner/GM of Ciro & owner of Veritas Wine & Craft Beer located next to Ciro. The first two of our 4-course- tasting menus- were the same for both dinners. Started with delicious Burratas paired with a white blend from Spain. Second course was a zesty curry presentation of shrimp, fingerling potatoes & artichoke paired with a fruity Italian wine. The main courses featured thick-cut slices of pork belly for the 'Traditional' and beautifully pan-seared tuna with a perfect-pink middle for the 'Pescatarian.' The wine pairing was a fine Portuguese red that worked equally well with both main courses. Deserts were a tasty flan and a 'molten lava' chocolate cake accompanied by a sweet German red wine. Courses were well described by Mr. Gaddamidi. He also shared the fun true stories on how he came to know the amazing wines served. Wines available at 'Veritas' for purchase.
