A friend chose this place for a birthday dinner, supposedly a lot of blogger have spoken highly of it, let's find out:The hostess at the door greeted me with a smile and a friendly "hi", after looking up my party's location in the their system, just about to lead me to my table, she was distracted by another customer who just walked in, jumped in front of me and asked where her table is; instead of telling her to wait, the hostess actually helped her first and left me waiting... Could be handled
A friend chose this place for a birthday dinner, supposedly a lot of blogger have spoken highly of it, let's find out:
The hostess at the door greeted me with a smile and a friendly "hi", after looking up my party's location in the their system, just about to lead me to my table, she was distracted by another customer who just walked in, jumped in front of me and asked where her table is; instead of telling her to wait, the hostess actually helped her first and left me waiting... Could be handled better...
We got a dime corner with a comfy sofa, long table, however it was not easy for us to get servers attention... On average we had to wave a couple time before we could get anyone, even if they were just here pouring wine, they still won't respond to our "exercise me"s... At least they do change plates and utensils once between appetizersss and the mains. They really need to do a better job in service training...
Portions are small for every dish we had. Cold cuts and cheese was standard, signature dish "Vitello tonnato" was disappointing, taste like any regular tuna mayo spread, veal wasn't particularly tenter either.
Cheeses frittata, meatball (MMM), croquette, barely passed, not worth mentioning... Truffle linguini was quite alright, rich in truffle flavor but could use a bit more salt; on the other hand, lasagna was really salty... The only dish that I would call good was the suckling pig, hot, crispy and tender.
Desserts!! Given the quality of all previous dishes, we weren't even gonna try them, but we did anyways, and I'm glad. They were all very well done! Panna cotta was very smooth in texture and rich in flavor; tiramisu is very smooth as well with a great balance of coffee and liquor taste! Chocolate ganache cake was just okay, taste like those frozen ones you can buy from the store.
I'll give it an Okay rating for now, lots of room for
Improvement.
