I have to say I had concerns about going to this location as I received very mixed reviews from friends that had been there. It is only a couple of blocks from the house so we decided to give it a try. We made our reservation an hour later the day of and got a very cold reception when walking in the door, "your reservation was at 8 PM not 9 PM". Our reservation was rescheduled to 9 PM so that did not get things off to a good start.
From there things went up hill, the atmosphere and vibe on a Saturday was good and we sat in a nice boot in the back. The wine we ordered was fantastic but the grilled calamari was not my favorite. Both of our mains were great! I had the lamb and thought it was fantastic. Based on the reviews I received I was very happy to get a great meal.
The service was average at best, if they put a little more focus on providing a better guest experience I think it would really boost their reviews and return business. As soon as our plates were cleared the service ended, no cocktails and a quick check delivery. It seemed like 80% of the people there were on date night so this surprised me.
Food was great, atmosphere was very nice and all that was needed to turn this into a perfect experience was better service. That's just me though, I'm a sucker for a business that really focuses on the guest over and above the food.
