Amazing food and kind staff. We had a little bit of a wait even with our reservation because of another party that was sitting at their table for an hour after paying, so they gave us free drinks and appetizer and were super apologetic. Didn’t affect the experience negatively.

Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.
