The best place I have ever eaten! To start, the wait staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful. We reserved the special wine cellar seats and I thought we might be forgotten down there but they gave us the exact amount of space to spend some alone time and checked up on our drinks the perfect amount of times and the complimentary apps and lemon chellos were a wonderful surprise! We ate all three courses as if we had never expereinced the likes of good food before. I would reccomended this place to ANYONE looking to have good well prepared quality food with amazing flaro and zest. First date, anniversary, party, fun nihgt out on the town, looking to get dressed up for no reason. This place has it all. We will deffinetly be back!

The one star (*) is for the neighborhood. Very nice neighborhood near the waterfront piers which is kept very romantic and clean to stroll after "a good dinner" or after the theater.
Atmosphere: Casual dress, dim lights, uncomfortable rickety tables and chairs, tables set close to each other.
Attitude of Wait Staff: Not very friendly, not too informative or describtive of items on menu, feeling of "whatever" attitude toward patrons.
Overall Experience: Items Ordered: Stuffed Mushrooms - Flat, no taste, bland
Caesar Salad - No taste, stindgy on the anchovies, salt, pepper, herbs, etc.
Veal Parm - Overcooked, dry, no taste, no flavor (same with the tomato sauce
and mozzerella cheese)
Veal Saltabocca - Overcooked, dry, no taste, no flavor, too small of portion,
sauce bland, no taste
OVER-PRICED MENU - MY EXPERIENCE: BAD
FYI: If you make reservations, be prepared to give them your credit card number. If you cancel your reservations,
you will be charged $20.00/pp for cancelling! (Bad Business Practice)
Date of our experience: Wednesday, May 20, 2009.
