With everyone's harsh reviews I prepared myself for the worst experience... I was pleasantly surprised!
Nice ambiance and decor.
Service was great. Food came out promptly with adequate timing between courses. Piping hot. Service was always friendly and they brought everything we asked for promptly. Table was consistently cleared timely. We even had a sommelier come by to help us choose our wines each time! At one point, I asked our server what kind of vegetable was in a dish to which she happily and knowledgeably recounted the ingredients, including the one in question: Jerusalem artichoke! I was impressed by her!
Food was surprisingly good!
1. Crispy calamari and shrimp to start, very fresh and light battered.
2. Meatballs were flavourful in a fresh tomato sauce.
3. We has a baked eggplant dish with cheese and tomato sauce that was delish.
4. Then a pasta dish with tomato sauce that was horribly bland! That was the only bad dish. Having 3 back to back tomato dishes wasn't the most exciting plan as well. However the last 3 dishes were wow! BOMB DIGGITY where it mattered most!
5. Pizza with prosciutto and melted balls of delicious creamy rich cheese. And the crust was so tender and doughy yet crispy!
6. Branzini crisp grilled on a buttery bed of kale mmmm.
7. Striploin in a buttery jus with tender roast fingerling potatoes. The beef was grilled to perfection and amazingly juicy!
All in all a great experience with good music afterwards. Perhaps my great experience was an amount (according to other reviews) but I still definitely wanted to show credit where it was due!
