| - Visited on a Thursday evening.
Pros - We had great service from Philip and Shaun, both were very attentive, funny and engaging without being intrusive.
The generous "bread basket with sticks" were excellent - served with a dish of balsamic and a dish of olive oil.
The filet was fork tender, flavorful and cooked exactly as ordered. The swordfish was superb, in terms of texture it was the best I've ever had...but for me, a little over salted.
The creme brulee was excellent, generous enough in its portion size to be more than enough for two. It's served in a large oval dish with a "gondola" inspired design including a "cookie gondola" fresh berries and a miniature chocolate gondola pole/paddle.
The squash soup was excellent.
The Hyatt property has "gondola canals" and offers gondola rides to patrons. We were presented with complimentary "tickets" at the end of our meal. I wouldn't call this a "mediterranean" restaurant but I regard menu items such as mushrooms, carrots, artichokes etc as not uniquely Italian so for those so inclined, it does serve some mediterranean style dishes.
Cons - one of the filets was ordered with "sauce on the side" but was served with the filet and sauce together (serving staff, other than Philip, brought the food to the table). Philip spotted it (without being told) when he checked on us and got it fixed.
The water glasses are small, similar to the glass usually used for an "old fashion" ... so if you're a "water drinker" as am I, you'll be needing constant refills.
We were provided with a "parking validation" ticket to use at the parking lot exit machine...it didn't work, needed to insert my credit card.
