Always a great meal with fantastic service at this and all the Cecconi's locations that I have frequented worldwide. We were happy to get a table with a view and try some creative cuisine. The whipped ricotta with truffle was superb. I feel like a lot of restaurants have the same menus these days and the chef really puts his own spin on some basic items and really makes them mouth watering. Quite the enjoyable experience!

Outstanding overall! Pros: Food was excellent (Yardbird was OMG, filet mignon sandwich was delish!), our server was great (don’t remember her name), and as an author, the ambiance was *chef’s kiss* fun! Cons: Wish it weren’t so loud, but it is what it is. And the wedge salad was meh - too much dressing and while it wasn’t bad, just didn’t love. But great restaurant and really great food!
