| - just a few tweaks - I would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could - went after the premiere of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (won tickets, great, funny movie), restaurant was vitually empty still sat in front of door. Server was pleasant and knowledgeable but unfortunately the menu wasn't. Had the unvanilla martini, not to my taste but I think that was personnel. Asked to start with the pear and gorgonzola pizza then the tournedos with crab, shrimp and lobster with hollondaise and the sea bass. Tournedos and sea bass came out first with the pizza trailing far behind. Tournedos were a very generous size, good toppings - only complaint was that there was pesto on the plate not mentioned in the menu which hubbie didn't think paired well with the hollondaise, I thought it was okay. Sea bass was lovely, and loved, loved the mushroom quinoa risotto. Pizza on the outside pieces were yummy but inside was soggy, over cheesed (and I love blue cheese) and there were lots of pine nuts on it, again not mentioned on the menu. We both really like pine nuts so happily munched away but it's an expensive ingredient not to mention on the menu. Definitely full after these three generous plates although the server had recommended at least four I would order sparingly and order more as needed. For three plates (on the expensive side on the menu) and the martini $55 including tax and tip well worth it, easily four start when they fix the minor gripes with service and menu.
