| - I headed in with a guest that was visiting from Asia after hearing some very positive reviews from some friends. The meal started out fine enough with my order of wine and our starters. I thoroughly enjoyed the garlic bread from the bread basket, the salami, and the pickled cauliflower. However, the pizza bread was a bit soggy. We later realized we were not offered the chunk of Parmesan that our neighboring tables received.
We had an order of the baked clams which were a bit underwhelming. I think they tried to overthink things, but the clams basic clams with garlic and some lemon were the best. We had the lobster ravioli and rigatoni vodka for our pasta. It took a few times to flag down anyone to get some shaved Parmesan for our meals. They were tasty enough, but weren't mind blowing by any means.
Our server was super inattentive and when I needed another glass of what I initially ordered, he brought out something completely different. He never even came out to check on us after our entrees were served. When it came to pay the check, we did get our Italian cookie, but were not offered any limoncello or sambuca that were offered to other parties. It took way too long to process our payment.
All in all, I'm pretty sure that I won't be back... the food was okay, but the service was terrible for a high tier restaurants. They won't care since they have plenty of convention business with guys that have big expense accounts and have players that don't care about dumping their comps. Based on the lack of response by management on Yelp, I highly doubt they care about these reviews anyways.
I'd rather eat at Julian Serrano, Tetsu, Lemongrass or Javier's at Aria.
