I only give it a second star because I like the atmosphere, seating and cozy/social feel. I also liked that the waitress walks you through the kitchen to get to your table.
That was the upside. Here is the downside. As you can tell from other reviews it is very pricey. If you are looking for good Italian kitchen family style food you must go to Maggiano's, 5 star and you get a ton more food for the same price as this joint. The service tonight was slow and I didn't expect that since we came in after the rush. The waitress seem experienced but she only pretended to care. She seem as if she could not be bothered by us even after we introduced ourselves as first time customers.
We ordered the Chicken Limone and it was very dry. Enough said. The spicy chicken (insert your favorite little Italian pasta name here) was pretty good.
My wife asked what I thought and I said it was okay but I wouldn't exactly come running back.
