Good Food, Not Great and thus not worth the $$$$. way overrated.
Outstanding food and service. On multiple visits had Lobster Thermidor, Langoustines, Cannellonis,Clams Casino, Beef Carpaccio, Polenta and all were outstanding. Service was first class. However, they need to expand their white wine selections for more types. No sauvignon blancs, sancerres, montrachets, etc.
A rip off. I am very familiar with one bottle on the wine list. It is marked up at over 450% over cost (I bought 3 cases so I know the cost). Everything is absurdly expensive and not even close to being worth it. If you want to impress someone by either being or appearing to be sloppy or cavalier about spending money, then this is the place for you. But if you want better food at less than half the price there are many better choices.
Formulaic & thus not a great value for the $$$$. In desperate need of a sommelier or at least wine training because they clearly don't know what the hell they're doing. Food was good, service was good but the ambience needs a serious refresh. "Northern Italian?" Gimme a break. Lose the Lou Monte records already. Staff is courteous but not well trained for these prices. I'll try it one more time and get back to you.
Absolutely NOT worth the $$. Overrated? Totally!!
