   I had the pear carpaccio and it was awesome. The pesto with the prosciutto and pear was the perfect matching. BRAVO TO THE CHEF!!

   First and likely last time visiting. We chose this restaurant because the OpenTable app listed a menu that included a veal chop, and it was only a 3-minute walk from the Wellmont Theater. However, when we arrived, we were handed a completely different menu—no veal chop at all. Disappointing, but we decided to stay. My date ordered a dinner salad with grilled chicken, only to be told they only had breaded chicken available. I asked if they could substitute a plain chicken breast, and they said all the chicken was pre-breaded. I then asked if they could wash off the breadcrumbs before cooking, and they told us the kitchen was too busy to accommodate the request. There were other minor issues as well—for example, the staff repeatedly pushed alcoholic drinks on us even after I said we don’t drink. They also brought over a bottle of water we never ordered. Overall, the experience felt inflexible and inattentive. We won’t be returning. .

   Appetizer artichoke was not cooked. Leaves were hard to remove. We noticed another table had the Artichoke app returned Item was not removed from check. They charged me for something that we didn’t order. Did not notice till after it was paid. Dinner was $300 not a good value 2-Fish Bronzino and flounder was very salty. And a pasta dish. Surprised. We have dined there at least 6 times And have never had a bad experience. Over priced. Service was okay. Please let the Chef know.

   Made an early Sat evening reservation as I know it gets crazy busy. Food was excellent. Servers were very nice & helpful. However, every round of drink orders came over either one short or incorrect. Had to flag down for missing drink, missing coffee, missing baileys Coffee was cold by the time the milk was brought to table. Numerous servers kept coming over, trying to clear our table every three minutes when we were still eating the appetizers. Definitely felt rushed.

   Service was attentive but a bit slow. We were seated for almost an hour before someone took our food order.

   When we looked at the website, we should have been able to figure out that this place wasn’t for us—they have a restaurant, a bar, and a lounge. The lounge should have been a red flag. The bar is tiny and overcrowded. If you’re not sitting at the bar which has about 8 seats, you have to stand behind it or in the doorway leading to the restaurant. You also have to wait for someone to come to you to place your drink order. There’s a small seating area in the front that can be reserved for groups. If that’s booked, it fills up and there aren’t enough drink menus to go around. The restaurant was full and we had a reservation for 8:45. It looked like there was a birthday party for a middle schooler booked and that took up about a third of the dining room. The tables are cramped and when people are shouting at each other over the dance music that’s playing, you can’t hear the person you’re dining with. We ended up ordering two drinks and then cutting our losses. We didn’t want to cut the staff short on a reserved table for two, but the place was absolutely unbearable. If you’re looking for a night out with a group of friends, maybe I’d recommend this place. If you want to actually spend an evening with someone you enjoy, I would find another spot.
