    The food was SO good. You can tell a real Italian chef works there. The calamari (not breaded) was tender and delicious. I got the beef and pork bolognese and it was the perfect portion size and very flavorful. It was perfect meal for such a cold day. I'm not sure what my husband got, but it was a pasta that was also delicious. The ambience was also so cozy. There's this beautiful wood paneling every where that made you feel like you were stepping back in time and there was a really good pianist that made it all feel luxurious. They also had a real Christmas tree which smelled amazing and added to the cozy feel. The host was so sweet, but the service (waiter) overall wasn't great. He rolled his eyes and walked away when I asked him if they could make a new york sour (which is a common and not difficult drink). It then took extra long to get the drink. Actually both the first and second drinks took well over 20 min (each) despite the restaurant being half empty. It's not a big deal, it just rubbed me the wrong way.

    I spoke to a floor manager about my dining experience before I left the restaurant. The restaurant was woefully understaffed for the number of guests. I had four different people serving me at random intervals. It took over 2 hours for me to eat a very simple meal. The bar service was extremely slow as my appetizer came long before my cocktail. The manager recognized my concerns and was most apologetic. I told her that I didn't want to have another meal there to make up for this evening's experience. She was well aware that they put a new trainee on the floor this evening as they were short staffed.

    I’ve been here a few times and personally love the food and ambiance usually. But this time we sat down with reservations, ordered drinks and waited for over 20 minutes for drinks that didn’t come so we left.

    Charming, historic restaurant, we went pre show at Town Hall. The service was absolutely amazing. The most friendly, attentive service I’ve had all year.
