    Service was slow, and would prefer the lights to be a tad dimmer to create more ambience and intimacy.

    Great meal. Fausto always delivers. Great environment and people who genuinely care. Very accommodating when we wanted to do half glasses of wine with each course but without being overwhelmed with alcohol. We'll be back soon!

    The food was excellent. However, we ordered herbal iced teas which tasted like bad water. I sent mine back and asked for a cappuccino instead, while my husband just didn’t drink his and ordered a cappuccino as well. When the check came, we checked, after paying, to see if the teas were removed from the bill. Nope. Two $4 teas remained at $8 - more, expensive even then the burnt-tasting cappuccino. On the way out, I asked our server why the teas were not taken off the bill and was told because I didn’t specifically ask for them to be removed. Fausto is basically a pretentious coffee shop with a good chef. We will not return.

    We both tried the 3-course dinner and we both loved every bite. The food was top notch. Our server was helpful in keeping us on time for our show at the Arnoff following our meal. The only thing I would change is the blinking light/art installment at the museum entrance - it detracted from our dining experience.

    We ordered the choice of 3.The ceasar salad and Salmon were cooked perfectly! Love them! I have Celiac so I can't have gluten. The desert without the granola was weird and bitter. Because of my allergies the deserts weren't for me. You need a chocolate flourless torte with a berry drizzle. We will be back because everything else was lovely!

    Untraditional atmosphere in the CAC lobby. Food was well done but will question returning because of the service we received. Server was not attentive at all and made us feel like we were bothering him whenever we got him to come to the table. An example is our drinks sat empty for quite some time until we had to flag him down to get us another. Given the price point of the restaurant we expect service at a higher level than we received.
