| - A bit high priced for the food and service. In pinch, they will serve food that will fill you up but I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this restaurant.
I had a "quick" dinner here before the Stevie Wonder concert. I ordered the penne arrabbiata with wagyu meatballs. The dish came piping hot (45 minutes later - and just past al dente) and was adequately spicy. The meatballs were tasty, if a bit on the mushy side.
As this was not a cheap eat ($30 for a pasta dish), I expected the service to be great, which it was not. If there is one thing worth complaining about, it is that the server did just enough for us not to complain too much, but not enough to make the meal anything special. He willingly came to our table three times - once to take our order, a second time to ask us if our food was ok (someone else delivered our order) and a third time to get the bill. We called him over once to follow up our order and he very brusquely answered, "They're plating it now."
While waiting, we overheard a man at the table next to us complaining to the server about how his lamb was undercooked and that his wife's pasta was mushy. The server's response was, "I don't cook the food, but I'll tell the kitchen." After hearing that, we got out of there as quickly as possible!
