First time we dined there was a couple of months ago. We made a reservation on Open Table ahead of time, and we were not seated at our table until an hour an 10 min after our reservation time. The food was good but not superb. We were very upset but decided to give another chance to this local restaurant. We came here again. The restaurant was completely full and about 15 people were crowding the tiny reception area. We waited for 5 minutes, and the hostess never even came up to us. We walked out and won’t be back.

They overbooked their reservations and made people with reservations wait up to 30 minutes. Food was good but nowhere near worth $100 per person. One antipasti, a main, and dessert? Not even close. Service was slow and the waiter rarely checked on us. Won’t be back.

Granted, it was Valentine’s Day, so I’m sure the kitchen was a mob scene, but two of our three entrees were undercooked (filet mignon was much more rare, and room temp, than medium rare, and the risotto was crunchy). However, the service was excellent, despite it being an incredibly busy night.

Very overpriced, they have gone crazy with there prices, and putting more tables much closer together. Doesn’t feel like fine dining anymore, more like a mess hall. $100 a person without drink and gratuity or tax. We used to love this place before they tripled there prices. Imagine paying $100 a person, having to pay for desert which my wife and I don’t eat, for a BYOB restaurant. We used to love this place 5 years ago, have been there half a dozen times and each time they raise there prices a lot. Well they lost a good customer…… the same waitstaff which are good guys, but that’s where it ends. I don’t mind paying a lot for a good meal, but this is beyond crazy……
