The posted menu with prices looked good...and so did the specials on a separate board (no prices listed). So we went in. On the upside, the food dishes were very good as was the service. On the downside, the atmosphere was too dark and our table was too small. But the overall negative kicker was the price we paid for... more

God, I wasn't impressed at all. The food were okay, the service barely toleratable, and the price are outrageously astronomical! Never again! more

I had an excellent meal here with great service. We were in the back room, which was private and cozy. Perhaps there has been a change in ownership since last year? more

When the restaurant first opened it was extremely expensive to dine there. I think they may have scaled down their menu somewhat since then but it is still expensive. We went there for dinner and we could barely hear our dinner partners. The service is good even though they mixed up our to go leftover orders. Probably won't dine there... more

My favorite pasta is the one with phaesant and mushroom...Yummy... I also find the service very friendly and professional. Definitely one of the best restaurant... more

From the first words out of the waiter's mouth describing various pizzas being offered that night (uh, wait, since when has pizza been anything but a tiny aside on the BS menu?), to a basket of one kind of stale bread, to two quite bad salads including a horrific substitute for my favorite which is no longer on the menu,... more

It was our first time there. Our friends invited us in this restaurant. We had a great time. The pasta dishes were excellent, as well for the desserts. The service was really good as well, not too casual, not too stuffy and very friendly. We will go back. more

My wife and I have been to this restaurant twice - both were bad experiences. We won't be giving it a third try as there are many other restaurants that consistently provide a pleasant dining experience. more

it has been a while since i have been to this place, maybe 2 years ago?? i have to disagree with the other reviews. when i went to this place it was really overpriced, the service was lousy and the food was only average. It was so bad that the table next to us was accidentally served someone else's leftovers!... more
