I came here for winterlicious menu. For starters I had the Noce salad with romaine hearts, walnuts, pear (could not taste it) and a little shaved cheese. It was on the bland site. I chose the seabream filet for main....mmmm that was very good. I love the base of fregola (little pasta bits) very hearty. For dessert I had tiramisu-whoohoo! It was excellent. I also tried a little of my friends mango sorbet and gelato (vanilla?) it was fantastic-best sorbet I've ever had.
I think the part Noce could work on was service. Don't get me wrong, our waiter was polite. But they did take a long time to come back and take our orders. They were not attentive with filling water. And I wasn't crazy about the wine suggestion (considering the mammoth wine collection this restaurant has I was expecting more knowledge/better suggestions).
The restaurant itself is beautiful. I like the big windows. The bathrooms are a bit outdated downstairs, doesn't really jive with the quality of the dining area.
Finally there was a small mix up with our bills. We asked for separate and somehow a few of us ended up being charged gratuity for our meals, but also that of our friends (while our lucky friends were not charged :). Not a terrible thing to happen, but little things like this irk me...I don't like double checking my bill and seeing errors, then having to ask about it.
Don't let the billing incident dissuade you, this is a nice restaurant. Perhaps a little more high end than my usual style (out of my winterlicious picks this year, I enjoyed Grace better). But many of my dining crew loved their meals and the ambience. We all have our tastes :).
