| - Wanted to love it. The birds are cool and I was really hoping to get to watch the big, loud blue macaw bite one of the unattended little brats who kept rattling his cage. My husband enjoyed his Russian Influence Imperial Stout, and the Perch Mule was on point. Rebecca's Caprese sounded intriguing, but the fried green tomatoes weren't tangy. That app could've been great but wasn't. The balsamic on it was really good and the little heirloom tomatoes were tasty. We waited a LONG time for our entrees. I had the porcini truffle ravioli and it was good. The filling was tasty, too bad one of my ravioli was empty. The alfredo sauce was good and it's a rare restaurant that pulls off an alfredo sauce I like. The garlic bread was delicious. My husband had the the DP pizza and it was good, but half of it was underbaked. We decided to have dessert, and the most attractive choice was an Oreo cheesecake. OMG, disappointing doesn't begin to describe it. A good cheesecake is not difficult to make, and while I prefer New York style, I know cream style exists. This was neither. The texture was extremely weird, and my husband said he thought they had used gelatin in the filling. Whatever it was, don't waste your money because the flavor was okay but certainly didn't make up for the alien texture. The raspberry sauce on the plate was delicious, best part of the whole dish. We agree with other reviewers as well that the portion sizes are small for the prices. Too bad, but we probably won't be back. To end on a high note, our server Marissa was lovely and earned a good tip.
