At a Glance ?
75% ambiance
“It is not the most romantic place I have ever been but it is nice.”
77% dessert
“The chocolate ganache for dessert was also wonderful, and a generous portion for a restaurant week menu.”
83% drinks
“Service has been good every time I have been there, and the wine list (more of a wine book) is impressive, if perhaps a bit over the top.”
74% food quality
“The prix fixe does not offer good value; I would instead have an appetizer (or a half-portion of pasta as an appetizer) and a pasta and skip the entree altogether.”
100% menu variety
“We all ordered the lunchtime prix fixe menu and it was a terrific value, so terrific in fact that we could reasonably afford the wine pairings.”
66% overall
“One other note, be sure to try the pretzel bread - a nice twist on the usual dinner roll or sourdough bread you get at a restaurant.”
50% return potential
“will not return even if they serve up good pasta.”
72% service
“The waiter was knowledgeable about his food, and at least tried to translate the Italian names for truly exotic ingredients.”
72% value
“At these prices, the food had better damn well be excellent, and it just met my expectations.”
