    We both ordered the steakhouse, burgers and fries that was very disappointed. There wasn’t more flavor. They were pretty bland, but I have to say the salad and the desserts were absolutely amazing. We took back a lot of food to our room to snack on later. The staff were amazing and it was nice and quiet. We were there to celebrate my son‘s 35th birthday overall it was a good experience. It was really nice too that the waitress brought out the chocolate cake for my son.

    Started out with red vermouth followed by Fiori Di Zucca, squash blossoms with ricotta and parmigiano reggiano, then the best home made bread ever, Schiacciata Bianca, focaccia toscana, rosemary, sea salt and extra virgin olive oil, followed by two pasta dishes: Gnudi Di Spinaci with heirloom spinach, ricotta, wild mushrooms, brodo di Funghi, and parmigiano reggiano and Tagliatelle Al Ragu with ragu Toscano, pecorino grande, and finocchietto. Cocktail was a Blanco Bianco Amargo, a fortaleza blanco tequila, la luna mescal, pineapple amaro, and mauro vergano bianco. They brought a surprise white vermouth tea to warm us up, then a lovely pistachio cake, a Tre Dita Gatto, devil's food, fleur de cao mousse, amaretto, and dark cherry and special birthday chocolate Bundino with a candle and edible coin. The place has an amazing view of the city.

    NY strip steak was cooked to perfection. Tender and delicious. My chicken Marsala was really good. Our waitress, Kathy, was attentive but not overbearing. She helped make our night special. Music was a tad loud but that was fine. Will return.
