| - We went for dinner and would say that we had mixed feelings about this restaurant. It is definitely a great space which is decorated beautifully. Our waiter was a bit curt, and I have to say that I agree with the other reviews on here, that he was definitely trying to get us to spend more money than we wanted to. The way that he described the salads that they offered was also confusing. We thought we would be receiving a house salad with our meal when we decided not to go with the pricey parma or caesar salads that were being pushed upon us. Though we never received a salad and when we informed him that we were disappointed, and found his earlier explanation to be a bit confusing and misleading, he acted as if our assumptions were unfounded. I order some coffee before dinner, since the delicious aroma from it was wafting through the restaurant. A french press was brought to the table and poured for me, but my cup was filled with coffee grounds. When we told the waiter, he seemed annoyed and said that he would bring another, but because of the french press, it would probably happen again. The second cup only had a couple floating around, which was reasonable, and the coffee was bold and delicious. We ordered the arancini for an appetizer, and it was quite good, though we would have preferred it to be hot instead of just luke warm. After hearing from a couple of people, including one of our dinner companions, that the lobster raviolis were delicious, we decided to try them for dinner. While they were good, we didn't feel that they lived up to their expectations. The brown butter sauce they came in was unfortunately a bit watered down. We told our waiter and he again seemed annoyed, though when we left the restaurant, we did tell the manager, and he seemed genuinely concerned. We had the bread pudding for dessert and it was out of this world! One of the best desserts that I have had in a long while. It was warm and moist and the caramel sauce is heavenly. I would go back to this restaurant just for this dessert! I think we will try this restaurant again in the future, and if it disappoints again, then at least we will know that we will have a phenomenal dessert to end the meal with!
