This is a nice spot for a pre-show dinner. It's right across from City Center, where you can see theater and dance almost any night of the week. The cacio e pepe spaghettini was delicious and the pear martini was too. Not a huge menu, but it's reasonable, especially for the neighborhood. The service, however, was confusing; we were waited... more

We went to this restaurant on Tuesday evening about 8pm. I ordered seabass and a portion of roast potatoes. The waiter returned to tell me they had no potatoes!!! The expression " pub with no beer " sprang to mind. We left and will not be returning. more

We were staying at the Blakely hotel, so it made sense to eat in thier restaurant. However, we found it expensive and the food was only ok. Service was good however. more
