“Horrible Customer Service”

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Several days prior to my wedding anniversary I made a reservation and requested window seating. I had been assured by the restaurant they would try their very best to insure a window side table. On the day of my reservation the restaurant called confirming my reservation and the request for the coveted window table. My husband and I arrived at the restaurant at the same time as a single woman without a reservation. The host decided to seat a single woman without a reservation at the only window table left in the restaurant instead of us. When we reminded the host and the manager/owner of our reservation, window table request, and anniversary, the host retorted the restaurant was too busy to accommodate such a request. My husband and I had a wonderful romantic dinner at the Hotel Bel Air instead.

Incredible Italian food. We started with a dungess crab salad. Fresh crab removed from the shell, combined with watercress, green onions, chives and tossed with a light lemon vinegrette dressing, then put back into the crab shell & served...it was fantastic. Following this I had the most delicious and light gnocchi in a truffle cream sauce....the best I have ever had. I wanted to pick up the plate and lick it!!

Good food, small tables and bumping into your neighbor, but the best pasta in Santa Monica.
