  • I ate here this past Friday night with my girlfriend and two other dining companions for dinner. As we headed there I was surprised how far off Butler Street it was located as I was unsure we were headed in the right direction until we ran into it a couple of blocks away. The inside was cozy with seating for about 40 with kaleidoscopes on each table (sadly they didn't spin) as well as some reliefs made of glass sitting in the windows that reminded me of looking through a kaleidoscope. We had reservations for 7:30 and got there around that time and were seated immediately. However, after we were seated it took quite a while for us to get waited on but that was because there was a 20-top sitting right behind us that had come in before us. I would guess that the place is normally has a reasonable volume level but due to them it was quite loud. Our group decided to start off the evening with a couple of appetizers to split: the deep fried gnocchi as well as the crab dip. The deep fried gnocchi was served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping but ended up being a little bit of a disappointment for me as I was looking forward to it after having read how good it was. It seemed to be covered in a breadcrumb like substance on the outside that was a little bit more firm than the gnocchi but I did not really get the sense of them having been fried. The crab dip tasted nicely and was served with an ample amount of warm pita to eat it all which was nice. In addition to all of that I decided to have a cup of the soup of the day which was an apple mushroom soup. It came out looking like your normal cream of mushroom soup, white and nondescript. The taste of it was amazing though even though the apple was lost on me as there seemed to be a strong cheese (Romano?) flavor that came through with the earthiness of the mushrooms. After we finished our appetizers, we had a pretty long wait for our dinners due to the 20-top. It was long enough that the waiter came over and apologized to us numerous times bringing us complimentary warm pita and house made butter the first time and a complimentary bottle of wine and some more pita the second time. For my dinner entrée I went with the cow jumped over the blue moon pasta. It was named appropriately as it was beef over top of a fettuccine pasta with a Gorgonzola cream sauce. The beef was cooked nicely and paired well with the delicious and savory Gorgonzola sauce which left me satisfied with our wait for the meal. Finally for dessert my girlfriend and I decided to split the rosemary shortbread tart. It had a wonderful tasting rosemary flavored crust underneath a custard top with a little bit of blueberry? syrup on top. Even though I was fairly full before we ordered it, I gladly helped to finish it off since it was very tasty. The bottom line for me is that I would definitely head back here in the future. I enjoyed almost everything about the place from the kaleidoscope décor on the inside to the food and even the fact that it was BYOB. Hopefully the next time that I go there will not be such a large party which I would hope would make the service quicker.
