    Went for Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes and did the full wine pairing— a splurge after a busy & draining day/week/year. The space was welcoming and festive, the wine pairings were interesting and thoughtful and the hospitality and service were impeccable from the moment we walked in to the moment we left hours later. Mistakes happen - especially on a busy holiday shift - but any minor hiccups were swiftly addressed. We felt treated like royalty but then also like old friends by the end of the meal.

    We were seated in the back room with 2 large parties. The noise and echo made it difficult to carry on a conversation. Mushroom pasta had zero seasoning. Server brought 3 clean plates instead of 4 for 2nd course. Didn’t bring condiments that go with the pizza until requested. Server was sweating. Overall this was my worst experience here. It is typically one of my favorite restaurants.

    Expected a lot more. Food was decent but not extraordinary. Host and maitre d not particularly great. We were there for our anniversary and noted it on the reservation as well as being celiac. Apparently nobody paid any attention to either thing. We were given a table stick between two others already there even though the restaurant was quite empty (it filled up within an hour but it was not quiet at any point). Server was good and attentive once notified about celiac. Food was pretty disappointing and needed salt so badly that I eventually caved and asked for some.

    The food was very good. If you are looking for pizza, there are lots of choices. Not so many non-pizza ones. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and drink options. It was noisy but not so noisy that we couldn't have a good conversation. Our only complaint was that our table was in front of the door so every time someone came in, we got hit with cold air.

    We are a family of 4 hoping for a nice meal out. Unfortunately it was disappointing. The food was OK, our steak was dry and pizza had way too much cheese so it was soggy. But the worst part was the service. Our waitress seemed like she would rather be anywhere else than at the restaurant, she barely made eye contact or smiled and at times didn’t even try to listen to us over the loud noise of the restaurant. I appreciate not everyone likes their job, and we all have a bad days but when you’re dining out and receive poor service, it’s really a buzz kill. Especially given the restaurant is so pricey. Really disappointed for a restaurant that has so much potential.
