| - Went to check out this place on a Saturday evening. Was blown away by the decor, thought it was an art gallery (and it used to be). Beautiful place, feels like you are somewhere in Paris or London. But that's where the good review ends. Our waiter came by, introduced himself and asked if we needed anything. So far so good. We ordered drinks and he went to get them. 20 mins later, he comes over (no drinks) and tell us that the bar is busy making drinks for a big table that just came in (um, I think we were first and the only drink that required making for our table was one cocktail - the rest were open a bottle and pour). So anyway, finally the drinks arrive and my glass of prosecco was a bit warm (I guess it was standing there for a while). The cocktail that my boyfriend ordered was tasty. Then we ordered the food and had to wait for that to arrive (except for the salad which arrived pretty fast and was good). The black ink pasta that we ordered was good, however the duck pizza was lacking in flavour big time! After we were done, we were sitting with empty plates for a while, even though there were lots of waiters in the restaurant who kept walking by us and not clearing the plates. Our waiter abandoned us because he was busy with the big table of guys. Finally a manager came by himself and cleared our table which was very nice of him. We wanted to get coffee but had to wait another 20 min! When our waiter showed up we asked for espresso and cappuccino. When he came by with espresso he slipped and spilled it on my friend. He felt very bad and tried to clean up the mess as quickly as he can and brought a new one right away. HOWEVER, they still charged my friend for it AND didn't offer to clean his jeans or even not charge him for a meal as the coffee was very hot and burned him a bit. WOW, I was blown away. We were so nice about him spilling the drink, but they didn't do anything about fixing the situation. For that reason will not be coming back! In summary, the place is beautiful, the food needs more work (keep in mind it's just another Italian restaurant so they should find a way to stand out), the service needs major make over! Prices are reasonable.
