    The pre-fix Valentine's Day vegetarian meal left a bit to be desired for the price, though several of the items were incredible (pasta, samosas, turnips), and the Beatles theme was fun. They probably could have done with one more front line person at the bar on such a busy night. Everyone that works there that we interacted with was very friendly, knowledgeable and lovely, however. I want to go back when the a la carte menu is available. I appreciate that the restaurant takes such good care of their staff. Overall, a good experience.

    We came for the Valentine’s Day set menu. Cocktails were very good, ambience was nice and our server was very friendly and attentive! We were looking forward to this for a while but sadly we did not care for most of the food. First course- the mozzarella and garlic with beet puree was a big miss. The mozzarella was not very soft and we couldn’t taste any of the beet topping, as the garlic was overpowering. Not a great mouth feel w/ this one either, just cold mush. The kale salad was overwhelmingly salty, but the nut clusters were really good! Sadly the entire dish just tasted like a salted lime. Finally, the focaccia bread with blueberry butter. I was really looking forward to this one but it was just not good. The butter needed salt desperately, the entire thing was just bland. Second course- masala samosa. This was fine, was interesting to see this as a course at an Italian restaurant. It was good, could have been warmer. My issue with this was that it tasted like a samosa you could get at tarka or something similar, nothing stood out. The next dish, the butter poached turnips, was the one I was the most curious about. My partner and I liked this dish the least. I thought this tasted identical to microwaveable steam-in-bag broccoli. My partner thought the dish was so bitter that they only took one bite. Last dish was the bucatini a la vodka. This was DELICIOUS but cold by the time we got to it since they bring every dish of the course out at once. I wish there were more pasta dishes on this menu because this is clearly a strong suit of theirs. Dessert- olive oil cake with zabaglione. Cake itself was very tasty! Zabaglione was awful and ruined the whole thing. I know it’s made with fortified wine but it was so overpowering. Every bite was like I was taking a shot of cheap liquor. We ended up scraping most of the sauce off. Overall we were so disappointed with the food quality, especially with it ending up costing $225. We both agreed we wouldn’t come back.

    Excellent night! We've attended many of the Valentine dinners and this was one of the very best. Good vibe, fun theme and really excellent menu. Well done! And glad you spread it out over a few days.

    Food is on the salty side. Credit card fee is added automatically. Tip of 20% is also added automatically, which should be based on service quality, not automatically deserved. Obviously if the service were great, I would not bring this up.

    We enjoyed our meal of grilled Romaine salad, (pricey) lasagne, and tiramisu. Wish the seating were more cozy. Attentive service. Built-in 20% gratuity.
