Wonderful experience, great food and attentive service without being intrusive.

Our server, Avery, was very friendly and helpful. Twice the managers checked in on us, which I appreciate. The fried ravioli was delicious as was the Pasta Carnavoro. The red wine, a Nebbiolo, was delicious. The only misfire was the NY strip. I know steak cuts can be hit or miss and I just didn't hit the lottery on this particular cut (only half was edible). It was seasoned and cooked fine, just very, very grissly. All else was wonderful and we had a very romantic dinner at a reasonable price. Definitely will go back.

I had a party of 8. Everyone enjoyed their food. Atmosphere was nice. Would definitely recommend! Will definitely return!!!

We have dined here many times and have had both the French and Italian cuisine. Last night was very good.Our waitress was excellent and both pasta dishes were good. The burrata was also good. I hope this continues as Tuscaloosa deserves consistent excellence for dining.

01/25/2025: It was my first time there. You have to enter through Embassy Suites hotel. I made a reservation but it wasn't needed, there was only one couple when I arrived. The jazz music was perfect. I was looking for "fine dining," but this wasn't a bad choice. The dining area is large, but the bar seats 10 people at best. There was a bathroom inside the restaurant and it was clean. But the lock on the accessible bathroom needs repair. I had to lean on the door and jiggle the lock to engage it. Maitlon was my server. He was patient and worked with the bartender (a lady) to find a drink I would like. She ended up creating something and it was tasty. Maitlon helped me choose between different menu items. I had the flank steak w/mashed potatoes and asparagus. My steak was medium and tender. Maitlon delivered my meal with a steak knife. Which is rare because most restaurants don't serve your food with a proper steak knife. I had lemon cheesecake with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. There was a solid lemon flavor to the cheesecake. The berry compote had a good texture and was not thin. The whipped cream was fluffy and the pistachios were ground to a good texture. Overall, it was a good experience. The meal was just under $70 for one person. The staff (Maitlon and the bartender) were friendly and patient with all of the guests. One suggestion would be to add a bread basket while you wait for your entree. I'll slip in to try a burger next time.
