| - I try to be a positive person so the first thing I'll mention is positive attributes. The waterboy rocks. He came by to refill our rather tiny water glasses almost every 10 minutes. You rock waterboy! The bread boy/ relish tray boy also rocks since it meant I could fill my starving stomach- that bread tho- AMAZING. It's crust of garlicky, Parmesany goodness was off the chain! They could probably do away with the carrots and celery, but the olives were good. And although the cottage cheese is random and a little odd, the chives that they added gave it a decent, unexpected flavor. We ordered the flatbread appetizer and the flavor wasn't bad but half of it was burned- not just a little over cooked, it was literally charred black. My fiancé ordered the Greek pasta dish and added chicken- good thing he did because he only got about 5 bow tie noodles. I wonder what the dish would have looked like if he didn't add the chicken... I got the beef Wellington- it was alright, but it kind of reminded me of hotel room service- good, but most definitely not worth the $30 I paid for it. Potatoes were dry too so I just didn't eat them. For the quality of food we received, this restaurant was wayyyyy overpriced. I don't mind paying the money for an excellent meal, but this just wasn't it. Also, our waitress wasn't all that great. It's like she was too scripted, but forgot some of her lines- I told her I needed some more time with the wine menu and when she came back, never asked me if I wanted a glass and ran away before I could ask her for one. She also brought our check before asking us if we wanted dessert- two things that we wanted and could have increased our bill and subsequently increased her tip. Needless to say, I probably won't return unless I miraculously see better reviews and hear they've stepped up their game. However, I do agree that the atmosphere is romantic as the restaurant boasts.
