    Kitchen may have had a staffing problem, and food was slow with the item I often order not tasting as good as it usually does. I will always go back though, since I've been very pleased 99% of my visits.

    It was a great location and beautiful building. Service was a little slow but it’s the holidays and some bigger parties.

    The Christmas decorations are always so beautiful in the lobby! That was our main reason for coming. We were disappointed that we weren’t offered any kind of a seasonal cocktail list. That would have been a nice addition! We had bread, beet salad, gnocchi with sausage and mushroom, short rib ravioli, bread pudding, and Vulcano cake. The volcano cake was the star of the evening! So rich and delicious. The bread pudding surprised us with candied citrus - that ingredient only belongs in the trash in my book - so that was disappointing. The ravioli was tasty but way too expensive for the size of the serving on our opinion. The gnocchi dish was tasty. The salad was good. Overall, it was fine, but we have other restaurants that we prefer for the price point and quality of food.
