| - I came in hoping to give this a 5 star rating, I had very high hopes...who wants to be the guy who only writes negative reviews. This meal had its moments though. The bread was ok, a greasy olive oil bread with a variety of salts and butters, a cheesy cracker bread was pretty tasty, and I enjoyed the bread sticks while my guest did not.
We started with the Spicy Sausage Arancini and the Romaine Caesar salad. I thought there was a lack of spiciness to the Arancini (only to realize when the bill came that they brought the lobster Arancini instead) but they were very good, the Caesar has a citrus based Caesar dressing that was just OK.
She ordered the spaghetti and shrimp, the shrimp were huge, one was perfect, the other slightly overcooked, the pasta was slightly overcooked as well. I ordered the Branzino and it was fantastic. Came with a tangerine vinaigrette that complimented the fish well. It was taking quite a while for the main course to come after the apps, but our waiter Diego showed with a couple of flutes of champagne to help with the wait. Nice touch.
Dessert was the chocolate tarte which was pretty tasty as well. Dinner came to $132, pretty pricey when no wine was involved. $6 for a pepsi? Come on. Water refills were pretty slow.
