  • I feel bad about giving this place 3 stars, and it's probably closer to a 3.5 (damn you Yelp for not allowing me to provide more nuanced ratings!). But the reality is, it's a place that I thought was fine, would be happy to go back to, but probably not go out of my way to go back to and probably would not be somewhere I personally would propose. That is, I would go there if someone else suggested it, but I probably wouldn't suggest it myself. Service here is very nice - they aren't stuffy and it seems more like a neighborhood place than an outright restaurant. Closest comparison point might be Girasole in Shadyside in terms of ambiance. Alas, also in terms of noise level - this place can get loud, even when it's not particularly full. It's also definitely got a neighborhood feel - when I walked in, there was a group of older women who were congregating for some sort of get together, and a family with a young child. That is to say, other than the kid, my friend and I were probably the youngest people there for a long while. I think the young professionals didn't start showing up until around 8:30ish. I don't mean to say this in a evaluative way - it's just information for you to get a sense of who goes there and when. The food was somewhat hit or miss. The spinach and cheese dip was delicious, and I will say that the shrimp small plate was divine. Perfectly cooked shrimp on rosemary skewers in a tomato based sauce with buttered crusty bread... absolutely awesome. But the pork crostini with brie was not my favorite - the pork was tasteless and somewhat dry. My friend had the mushroom soup and a house salad, neither of which seemed particularly inspired. Perhaps we went wrong by not ordering one of the main entrees. So, I grant you that perhaps we should give it another try. But, given my aversion to the South Side, a place has to be pretty amazing for me to brave the traffic and craziness of Carson St., and this didn't cut it. But, I don't regret having tried it.
